7 Ways to Boost Your Energy Naturally!



With things "getting back to normal-ish," summer right around the corner, all the activities starting and crazy spring weather, I have been dragging...and I keep hearing people say the same things...what about you? If you feel like you're less than peppy, maybe try out one or all of these natural energy boosters before drinking all the caffeine or trying to power nap at your desk...I know I'm going to :) 

  1. Exercise for energy. Contrary to popular belief, exercise doesn't make you tired; it actually builds energy within your body at the cellular level. So...get off the couch, skip the nap and take a walk, run, swim, lift weights, play Dance Dance Revolution, whatever it takes to move your body. Just 10 minutes, can give you the boost that you need. So while waiting for dinner to cook, burst into some jumping jacks, take a speedy walk to a co-workers desk instead of e-mailing her or run the stairs at lunch. Just get moving…even if you don’t feel like it (especially if you don’t feel like it!)
  2. Eat for energy. You might get a quick energy boost from that handful of M&Ms or a chocolate chip cookie, but you will crash and burn just as quick. So fuel your body to keep you energized all day long. Eat healthy carbs such as oatmeal, tons of veggies and fruit and remember to always eat protein with every meal or snack. Think almonds, tuna, chicken, turkey, walnuts, natural peanut butter and tofu. Think of your body as an engine and you are providing high grade gasoline when you eat well.
  3. Don't eat for energy. That's right, one of the benefits of intermittent fasting is an increase in energy. It doesn't have to be very long either: a routine of even fasting for 12-16 hours per day and eating the other hours, can boost your energy. To learn more, click here.
  4. Drink for energy. Ditch the “energy drinks,” caffeinated beverages and cocktails and drink water…a lot of water…at least 64 oz a day-or better yet, half your body weight in oz. One of the major symptoms of dehydration is fatigue, so when you are feeling tired or sleepy, especially in the middle of the day, chug a glass of water.
  5. Breathe for energy. Literally, take a breather. Just sit and take 5-10 deep breaths. Stress can cause us to fatigue mentally and emotionally which can manifest as physical exhaustion…so take a seat, inhale deeply, hold for a few seconds, and then exhale slowly and completely.
  6. Sleep for energy. Studies show that getting less than 6 hours of sleep leaves us WAY less than 100% not only mentally and physically but energy-wise as well. So get at least 7 hours of sleep and really shoot for 8 for optimal energy. Also, going to bed and waking up at the same time every night and day will help with energy dips. Sweet Dreams!
  7. Listen for energy. Put on some heart thumping tunes for a kick! I've got just the playlist for you!
Enjoy your new found energy!
