We’ve all been through those days when we feel exhausted, we can’t concentrate and we feel we don’t have enough energy to finish all the activities. We feel a general exhaustion so heavy that it stops us when it comes to doing the things we enjoy and we prefer to stop doing it completely. The positive is that we have endless energy boosters around us, you just have to know how to take advantage of them. Here we will explain the most effective to increase your daily energy.
Rest is sacred
With a busy life in which we always have many things to do, we tend to downplay the quantity and quality of rest. Going to bed late, falling asleep watching TV and with the mobile in our hand affects our energy in an important way. Try to go to bed at the same time every night without distractions around to ensure a deeper and more conciliatory sleep. In this way, if you do not get to bed early, at least you will ensure that the quality of sleep will be superior and you will feel rested.
Eating Healthy
Certain foods help boost energy because they contain key nutrients that our bodies need:
- Homemade Sports Drink: include 4 cups water / coconut water, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon calcium magnesium powder, 1/2 cup juice (any will do as long as it is 100% juice) like Orange or Pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
