Boost Your Energy
Finding ways to boost your energy is important, but it can feel challenging at times. If you’re feeling fatigued and overwhelmed, then there are some things that you can do to set yourself up for success. Below we will discuss the reasons why most people don’t have enough energy and the three pillars of energy that can provide a solution.
Here’s why most people lack energy…
- Poor diet
One of the main reasons for low energy is malnutrition. The western diet has a wide variety of foods that are extremely low in nutritional value. As a result of this, a high number of health problems occur. Making sure that you’re getting the right nutrients is one of the most beneficial things you can do for not only your energy levels, but also your overall health.
- Too much stress
Stress can cause the release of energy mobilizing hormones. This responsive mechanism is responsible for providing a fight or flight response needed for survival. However, if we overload our bodies, they will definitely malfunction in the long run. Frequent stress exposure can cause an ongoing heightened stress that will then lead to excessive concentration of blood glucose and several other health issues.
- Immobility
When you fail to achieve the needed amount of movement every day, you risk causing problems like obesity, increased body inflammation, and reduced blood circulation to your body. This may cause it to crash. Therefore, you will struggle to find the energy to do things and get exhausted faster.
Solutions For Energy Loss
- Eat a balanced diet
Food nutrients provide raw materials needed by our bodies to function. Depending on density and nutrient variety consumption your body can flourish! There are two nutrient categories which are macronutrients and micronutrients.
Macronutrients are:
- Proteins
- Carbohydrates
- Fats
Micronutrients are:
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Phytonutrients
Making sure you have a balanced amount of both nutrients will put your body under less stress and provide you with energy.
- Get enough sleep
Usually, there are five sleep stages that the brain passes through. In each stage, biochemistry inside the body assists in memory retention and therefore increases hormonal production. The first two stages are the transition period from the stage you are awake to reduced body temperature and slower brain waves that help regulate the levels of body stress. Enough sleep leads to more positive results.
- Exercise
Working out demands strong focus. This control of the muscle against the body force is called ‘proprioceptive awareness’ and is the relation between one’s surroundings and his/her awareness. Therefore, when you work towards putting a maximum load into motion in a session, your proprioception is increased and focus improved as well as your muscular contraction. Better muscular energy can result in greater energy output.
