Easy Energy Boost

We all need energy for everything we do in life. Being able to tweak more energy from our minds and our bodies is a worthwhile pursuit. If you can change your energy levels by a few per cent you will achieve a hell of a lot in life and feel better for it.

The mind is linked to the physical, so tweaking our mind energy as well as our physical energy levels will give you a double boost. So without further ado here are:

"Ways to Boost Your Energy Levels"

 

Drink Plenty Water

Water really is the elixir of life and we need to drink plenty of water to keep the cells in our body regulated. Water is essential for the body’s growth and maintenance, as it’s involved in a number of processes. For example, it helps get rid of waste and regulates temperature, and it provides a medium for biological reactions to occur in the body.

Meet Up With Your Friends

Sometimes your busy work schedule completely wears you out. You usually get into the habit of attending to your daily chores and take out no time for yourself. This could lead to a feeling of isolation which in turn makes you depressed and reduces your energy levels. Meeting up with friends on a regular basis is a good idea to boost your energy levels and to stimulate your brain.

Communicate

Bottled up emotions could act as energy drainers. If something is bothering you, a relationship problem or work problems; it’s very important that you communicate with someone you trust.

Consume Enough Iron

Deficiency of iron is one of the major reasons for lack of concentration. Do you find your mind wavering off at many occasions? Or do you tend to get lethargic very easily? You could be suffering from Anemia, i.e. deficiency of iron in your body. Iron leads to the production of hemoglobin in your body, these blood cells are responsible transportation of oxygen in your body. Lack of hemoglobin leads to low oxygen levels, which makes you tired, lazy and very low on energy.

Stretch


A simple stretch can boost your energy in no time! Stand up and go on your toes, with your hands stretched upwards. Try to reach as high as you can with your fingertips stretched towards the ceiling. Keep this posture for a few seconds.

Avoid Negative Environments

Try your best to avoid any kind of negativity in your life. You can start by avoiding people who have a negative attitude or avoid negative conversations or thoughts. Keep yourself pre occupied with other things instead. It is a known fact that you tend to get affected by the people you spend time with.

Treat Yourself To A Massage

Pampering yourself can be one of the best ways to feel revitalized and fresh. So the weekend’s coming up and your full body’s aching because of sitting in that one chair all the time. It’s time to treat yourself to a massage, either professionally or by your partner.

Laugh

Every time you laugh or giggle your brain releases a substance called Endorphins. Endorphins are substances that make you feel good, awake and energetic. Laughing has many other advantages as well! The endorphin produced improves your immune system, reduces the risk of chronic depression and also helps in preventing heart diseases. A good comedy or a night out with friends will boost your energy.

Healthy Breakfast

As the name breakfast suggests, it means to break your fast after a long duration. So it is important to begin your day with the right kind of meal, for it has a direct impact on your energy levels throughout the day. Having a good breakfast keeps you energized for the mornings and helps you avoid the carbohydrates and the fats in the afternoon.



Conclusion

Your challenge: can you think of any more way to increase your energy?
