Tired of being tired? Alrighty then, the ball is about to be in your court. Tiredness affects billions every single day and we take it as a given. That is, we accept tiredness for what it is and no matter how tired of being tired we become, most of us don’t realize that there’s something we can do about it. When was the last time you were actually able to wake up, jump into action, and keep going throughout the entire day? I bet it’s been a while. And even if it hasn’t, it’s sure as heck hard to have more than one of those glorious days in a row! However, as someone who learned to completely dispel tiredness from her life, I’m going to let you know that there are a whole lot of things you can do to help boost your energy level AND chip away at the feelings of tiredness that plague you throughout the day. First of all, you need to identify which factors are affecting you most. The next step is to get yourself some resources and information regarding those factors, and put them into action. This article is going to focus on diet and eating habits, while future articles will cover other factors. Your diet. You may not know it but what you eat (not to mention when and how much you eat) has a huge impact on your energy level. For example, sugary, fatty foods are metabolized quite quickly, and you usually aren’t getting any benefit from them after about 2 hours. However, if you can stalk up on some high-protein foods, you will have energy slowly released for a longer period of time for 3-4 hours. This can be the difference of making it to your next meal bright-eyed and ready to go vs needing a nap just to get through the afternoon. Also, our societies in the modern day for some reason preach this whole “three square meals a day” regimen that ultimately contradicts our body’s natural digestion system and energy needs. Eating smaller meals/snacks every 3-4 hours is much more beneficial than trying to cram in giant meals. Think of the energy in your body like a small cup or container that funnels out the bottom. Eating just the right amount of food will leave you full and energy will funnel through at an even rate for several hours. However, stuffing yourself with a lot of food will overflow the funnel and some of the energy gain will be wasted as it overlaps with other food from that meal. To learn more about tiredness (and some nifty resources for getting more energy) make sure you read through all of the useful content on my homepage. Also, make sure you grab my FREE ecourse on getting more energy (I'm very proud of it!) before you go, you'll find that in the sidebar to the right. - Angela Daniels Add Comment |
