Are you tired regularly?
Do you drink store bought energy drinks frequently?
Try these simple tips and alternatives to have more energy throughout the day without the risk some common energy products can pose.
Sleep!
Make sure you are sleeping enough. Lack of sleep is the most obvious reason for overall tiredness. Make sure to get a good night’s rest if possible. Most adults need somewhere between 6 and 10 hours of restful sleep daily. If you have a very odd or difficult schedule, don’t forget that you can nap from time to time to make sure that you get enough recovery time for your body and mind. Instead of taking over the counter sleep aids when you struggle with sleep, use natural supplements such as melatonin to get to sleep fast without unneeded side-effects.
Drink Water!
Tiredness can also be an issue if the body lacks full hydration. If you find that you are drinking sugary drinks all day and also feel tired make sure to increase the amount of water you are intaking. It may take a couple of days to notice the increased energy you’ll have but it is certainly noticeable if you stick with it. Once you get used to drinking more water you won’t want to go back to less water and drinking mainly sodas. Also, drinking more water is better overall as drinking too many sodas can also have other adverse unhealthy effects on the body.
Use Natural Energy Aids Instead!
There are many energy boosting products on the market with differing degrees of effectiveness and healthiness value. Although drinking store bought energy drinks may not be the worst thing a person can do for a ‘boost up’, it’s certainly not the best idea either. Over time these drinks can have bad effects just as sodas do; not to mention some of them use odd ingredients which may be legal, but not necessarily the best for the body if used too often.
As an alternative, use products designed to boost energy levels without the extra junk that comes along with the store bought products. Natural based energy products typically provide some combination of B Vitamins and caffeine which is naturally derived rather than synthetically sourced. An example of a natural caffeine source would be green tea extracts or green coffee bean extracts.
Exercise!
Moderate exercise can benefit your body over time as well to ensure you have a more balanced energy level. The other benefits are somewhat obvious and are known about, but one that gets overlooked is that as you get in better shape; it’s actually easier for your body to move around as you begin to lose extra weight and tone muscles.
In addition to these basic reasons, exercising moderately such as taking brisk walks can set your body up to be able to relax better when it comes to rest time. This makes it easier to sleep, of course, which is the main thing most chronically tired folks lack.
Get some rest, drink that water, and when you need a ‘boost up’, try to use something natural to get through the struggle of tiredness!
