The 3:00 PM Wall-Increase Energy
Commonly Asked Question: I have low energy and feel fatigued all the time, what would help?B-Vitamins- These are the vitamins that get depleted first when stressed.
B-Vitamin rich foods: spinach, parsley, broccoli, beets, turnips, mustard greens, asparagus, romaine lettuce, lentils, bell peppers, turnip greens, almonds, brussel sprouts, oranges, eggs, fish, sunflower seeds, beans.
Vitamin D3- have you ever gotten yours checked? Simple blood test you can ask for at the doctor's office. Most people are on the low end especially if they do not supplement! (I offer Vitamin D testing as a service. Please contact me for more information)
Juice-Cleanses body and gives your digestive system a break! Nutrients get absorbed right away giving you a burst of energy.
Greens Powder-helps alkalize the body. Usually contains wheat grass, alfalfa, spirulina, chlorella, barley grass, spinach, broccoli.
Exercise-Get your blood and body moving! Interval Training is one of the best types of workouts to do. Other names for interval training: Tabata, BURST, HIIT, Crossfit, Kosama etc.
Green/Herbal Teas-Green tea contains natural caffeine and contains the amino acid, L-theanine, which increases alertness. With L-theanine working to increase mental energy and caffeine also working to increase energy, the result is a steady, clear state of increased energy without the jittery side-effects.
English Breakfast Teas-use as an alternative to coffee in the mornings!
Eat every 3-4 hours stabilizes blood sugar levels. Your energy will be even kill all day long if you eat protein, a veggie, and a healthy fat every time you eat! Ditch the sugars!
Drink more water-you are probably dehydrated if you are not drinking half your bodyweight in ounces of water each day!
Take a technology break-computers, cell phones, and electronic devices zap our energy! Try going on a camping trip or turning off your phone and computer at night. Read a book! (preferably a real physical book and not one on a Kindle or Nook)
Take a walk- great for getting fresh air and taking a mental break! Nature is very therapeutic and grounding!
