10 Healthy Ways to Give your Energy Levels a Boost
By Janice Elizabeth Small
1. If you're feeling overwhelmed and have still got a lot of work to do, drink a glass of
water and go for a 10 minute walk. You'll feel a hundred times more
refreshed on your return.
2. Instead of drinking coffee to get a caffeine-induced high try
sipping ginger tea to pep you up. Add a little honey if you like.
3. Give the chocolate bar a miss and eat a banana. The
chocolate bar will give you a sugar-high but you'll come quickly
crashing down to earth - the banana releases its energy more
slowly and will keep you going for longer.
4. Sprinkle a cotton handkerchief with a few drops of
peppermint oil. Sniff it whenever you need a quick lift.
5. Try some yoga stretches or even just stretching your arms
high above your head for an instant lift.
6. If you generally feel tired in the afternoon, have more lean
protein at lunchtime and include protein with your afternoon
snack to keep your energy levels steady.
7. Take a warm (not hot) power shower to feel clean, fresh and
re-energised.
8. Reduce your social commitments so that you can catch up
with sleep and get an early night a few times a week.
9. Anything hanging over you? If you have a task which you've
been putting off for too long, make the effort and do it. You'll
feel so much better once you do.
10. Other people often have either a boosting or draining effect
on us. Think about who has an effect on your energy levels and
make plans to see less of any friends or family who drain your
energy and more of those who give you a lift.
