Fitness and Energy!
Running on Empty?
Here’s How to Fill up Your Energy Tank!
Here are some great lifestyle tips that can help you to fill up your energy tank and improve your productivity:
1. Get more exercise. If you’re feeling tired, you might be surprised to learn that a walk may be beter than a nap for boosting your energy levels. Any kind of physical activity will help to burn fat and increase your metabolism, and exercise will also improve your mood, helping you to feel more energized. In an important recent university of Grorgia study, researchers found that sedendary people can increase their energy levels by 20 percent and reduce fatigue by an amazing 65 percent just by doing regular low-impact exercise. In another study, the same researchers found that the energy benefit from exercise was even greater than the improvement from using prescription stimulant drugs!
2. Take control of your health issues. Be sure to see your doctor if you have high blood pressure, thyroid problems, diabetes, or other energy-depleting medical conditions.
3. Sleep under comfortable conditions. Good quality sleep is essential for maintaining your energy reserves. Make sure that your bedroom is quiet, dark and at a cool temperature that will promote healthful, deep sleep. Also, it may be time to replace that creaky mattress and lumpy pillow. Your energy levels will thank you!
4. Drink 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi every day!
