Busier schedules, longer days and seemingly never ending to-do lists? If this sounds like you and you’re constantly running on empty, there are steps you can take to boost your energy reserves. Here are six ways you can help avoid running out of energy during the day.

1. Eat A Nutritious Breakfast

It can be very common for people to skip breakfast as they rush out the door each morning, but breakfast is a very important meal that can provide you with the fuel you need throughout the day. For best results, breakfasts filled with fibre and protein containing a high glycaemic index for slow release of energy that will help you perform at your best throughout the day. Bananas and the potassium they contain are also fantastic for fuelling your body.

2. Drink More Water

A lot of people aren’t drinking their requisite two litres of water per day. Not only will drinking water help flush your body of toxins that could be contributing to fatigue and lethargy, drinking water can also help lose weight, which also can be responsible for dwindling energy levels.

3. Get Healthy

You may think that exercise uses precious energy, but in fact the opposite is true. When we work out we keep our body’s circulation pumping, helping to build up fitness levels. It may be hard to find the motivation to embark on a fitness regime, however personal trainers and fitness companies such as Cutting Edge Performance Centre can help you focus your efforts where they are most needed to increase fitness and energy levels.

Your diet can also contribute greatly to you energy levels and by improving your diet, combined with increased excerise and physical activity, you can help your energy levels soar. You’ll also lose weight and feel better about yourself too!

4. Get Good Sleep

The secret to staying energised throughout the day starts with a good sleep the night before. Not only is it important to try to stick to a sleep schedule by going to bed and rising at a similar time each day, its also just as important to make sure you’re getting quality sleep. That means a good mattress, the right room temperature and other environmental factors. When you wake up fully recharged, your body will thank you for it. This can mean more energy, and a better mood in general.

5. Avoid the Lardy Lunch

A dirty burger might be tempting when you’ve got the midday munchies, but in fact these fat laden foods will only take longer to digest, and as the body tries to digest foods high in cholesterol, the extra work will make you more prone to the mid afternoon energy slump. To give you the best chance for sustained energy throughout the afternoon, avoid the heavy foods at lunch, and instead substitute them with foods rich in vitamins and proteins.
