Five Simple Steps To Increase Energy

by Rose, Healthy Life Eastgardens, Health Coach, Yoga & Meditation Teacher
A busy lifestyle is often the excuse used to avoid taking care of yourself. Being busy though needs energy to enjoy what you do. Plan to change one habit at a time with these simple steps so that you can work, rest and play with increased energy.

MORE H2OOne of the most common reasons people feel fatigued is dehydration. Drinking more water can boost energy levels and mood. Aim to drink 1 litre per 25 kg of body weight per day.
TRY: Infuse water with cucumber,  lemon and mint for a refreshing summery drink.

COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATE
Swap processed foods for whole grains, seeds & fresh vegetables. These take longer for your body to break down  so you feel fuller for longer.
TRY: Next time you feel that mid-afternoon slump, grab a handful of almonds, pepitas and sunflower seeds instead.

JUST BREATHEFeeling tense? Take deep breaths into your belly, moving your diaphragm to instantly switch off your ‘fight or flight’ response. You’ll feel calmer, giving you a fresh burst of energy for the rest of the day.

LOLThat’s right, laugh out loud! Studies show laughter can reduce stress and anxiety and instantly increase energy levels.
TRY: Check out your local comedy night. Gather a few of your friends and turn it into a fun night out with a laughfest and see who laughs loudest.
