Need An Energy Boost?
Who doesn't need to re-charge every now and again?? Quick and easy ways to boost your energy levels:
STRETCH OUT. Fresh oxygen to your muscles, along with added blood flow may help you during that after noon slump. Take a deep breath, raise your arms above your head, exhale while bending forward and reaching for your toes. Inhale as you rise up again. Repeat and few times and your on your way again.
Get JUICED. Veggie juice is rich in vitamins and minerals. Thiamine (vitamin) aids in the conversion of carbs to energy and potassium help nerve impulses send your body a wake up call.
Pump IRON. Although exercise will help, that not what we are talking about here. Low energy may be a direct of low iron in your blood. Iron minerals help your blood absorb oxygen. Red meat in not the only way to get a boost; foods rich in vitamin C help maximize absorption. Think, seafood, whole grains, dark green veggies, coupled with fruits and berries.
CHANGE YOUR BULB. In-door lighting lacks blue light. Blue light stimulates your brain. Try opening your blinds or getting outside for a few minutes each day. The blue light rays come directly for the sunshine its self.
USE YOUR NOSE. Although coffee and tea can give you a quick boost, you will eventual crash. Just the aroma of roasted coffee beans activates brain activity. Try switching your brew for a smelling jar.
GET WATERED DOWN. Try Switching your afternoon caffeine or chocolate fix for a nice tall glass of cold water. Try stopping for just a few minutes and sitting down with a cold drink, it will actually give you the kick you need.
GIVE UP THE PILL. A good nights sleep can't be bought. Popping a pill to get some extra sleep may leave you feeling more drowsy the next morning - which seem counter productive. Before going to sleep try to wind down. Sip a warm drink, read a book, or just relax before head off to bed.
