Increase Your Energy Levels – The Healthy And Natural Way

In the modern world, many of us are expected to balance work, family, friends, social events, parties, house work and an endless list of tasks and obligations. It is a no wonder why many of us still feel tired and fatigued after a solid 7-8 hours of sleep! However, there are a few natural and simple ways to increase your energy levels so you can do more in your day and keep going and going and going and going and going.

1. Have breakfast.

I know, you have heard it all before about how breakfast is the most important day, (etc etc) but you still insist that you dont have time to make yourself breakfast before you rush out of your house in the morning (or afternoon) to start your day. Believe me though; waking up those extra 15 mins to eat some breakfast will significantly improve your energy levels and, your health. Studies have shown that people who skip breakfast tend to be more overweight, less healthy, have a lower attention span and lower energy levels. If youre trying to figure out what you should eat for breakfast, I personally believe low GI foods are the best (ie. Wholegrain cereals, muesli, low GI bread). They release energy slowly and will hence provide you with longer lasting energy to help you get through your day.

2. Have an afternoon power snackhttps://costaricawellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/crw-44.jpg

Regular afternoon snacks are great as they ensure that your body has a continuous supply of nutrients and vitamins which maintains your bodys energy levels throughout the day. They are a great perk-me-up, ensure that you remain somewhat full (as opposed to sluggish full) throughout the day, prevent overeating when you consume your next meal and is hence beneficial for weight loss as well. Some suggestions of a great afternoon snack include fruit smoothies, mixed nuts, low sugar high protein muesli bars and no-fat yogurt.
