The Top 5 Ways to Increase Your Energy |
|
1. Exercise, exercise, exercise. Yes, you had to know that this one would be up near the top of the list. However, what you maybe did not realize is that there are many every day things that you can do that will still increase your energy and get your heart pumping without the trappings of a traditional type of exercise. For example, play with the kids (or the dog) for 20 minutes in the yard, go for a nature hike in the park, and go swimming at the local YMCA pool. All of these things can be fun ways to get some exercise in and increase your energy. You should aim for at least 3 20-30 minute sessions of exercise every week. 2. Eat Breakfast. It seems that out of all of the meals that breakfast will go the furthest to stoke your metabolism and provide you with energy for the day ahead. Some people are not big breakfast eaters and won’t be able to enjoy a bowl of oatmeal and eggs or other heavier power foods. If that is the case for you then try having a protein shake, a yogurt, or fruit smoothie for breakfast. This way you can have a light breakfast that still packs a protein and energy punch. You should aim for some good carbohydrates with a slighter higher proportion of protein earlier on the morning to keep you from overeating later on in the day and making you sluggish. 3. Get a check up. Every year you should get some type of annual physical from your Doctor or clinic. As you get older this becomes more and more important. Many health insurance plans offer a couple hundred dollars worth of free preventative benefits annually. These types of health insurance benefits will differ from state to state so be sure to do a little investigative work Pennsylvania Health Insurance 360 and Illinois Health Insurance 360 . You will want to consider getting a mammogram and pap smear (for women) and a prostate exam or PSA test (for men) along with the typical blood work and other traditional components of the physical. 4. Take Supplements and Herbs. There are numerous supplements and herbs that may help to increase your energy. Ginseng, Vitamin B12, Bee Pollen, and Coenzyme Q10 are just some of the more popular supplements used by some to provide an energy boost. Speak with your physician or other qualified professional so that they can help you navigate the maze of energy boosters and herbal supplements. 5. Help others. This seems like it maybe does not belong on this list at first glance but a caring and compassionate attitude can go a long way to not only helping the person in need but has the curious effect of helping the person that is doing the helping! You may find just the energy boost that you have been looking for by getting involved in your community, your local church, the Red Cross, Habitat for humanity, or any other number |
