How To Stay Energized - Energy Tips

Our body’s main source of energy is glucose which comes from carbohydrates, fatty acids, and amino acids (proteins). Glucose is combined with oxygen in our bodies to produce energy.

To reduce your body from feeling fatigue all the time just follow these tips.

• Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast because your body needs to refuel for the long day.
• Carbohydrate is the main source of energy for your brain, muscles and central nervous system.
• Start the day consuming lots of carbohydrate rich foods, like cereal and wholegrain bread. Note: if you are trying to lose weight, go on a low-carb diet. Once your body runs out of carbs, it goes after fat to burn for energy.
• Don’t consume simple carbohydrates (candy, fruits, sweets, etc.) because simple carbs turn to glucose quickly resulting in a burst of energy that doesn’t last long. If you consumed too much simple carbs, the extra carbs may end up being stored as fat.
• Consume more complex carbohydrates (brown rice, veggies, whole grain breads), these carbs take longer to break down into glucose resulting in longer energy. Carbohydrate also helps burn fat for more energy.
• Drink plenty of water and stay cool so you dehydrate less.
• Eating healthy (vegetable, wholegrain foods, lean meats, etc.) will increase energy and reduce body fatigue.
• A common cause of fatigue is not enough sleep. Try to get about 8 hours of sleep per night, sleep is your best weapon against body fatigue.
• Being physically active and exercising will help reduce body fatigue.
• Think positively through out the day!
