Making the most of your day certainly depends on having enough energy. Whether it is tackling that lengthy to-do list around the house, preparing for a weekend party or traveling off to a new destination, feeling energized is key. To help you feel ready to seize the day, here are four healthy habits that you can easily incorporate into your regular routine.
We know we’re always saying, “sleep is important,” but it’s true! During sleep, your body recharges both mentally and physically. Sleep helps support a healthy immune system, reduce stress, improve your mood, and boost your physical performance.[1,2] There are two types of sleep: REM (rapid eye movement, which is also where you dream) and non-REM. It’s during your deep sleep (in non-REM) that your body repairs itself, and it’s this slumber that most affects your energy levels. For those whose deep sleep is disturbed or cut short, they’ll wake up less refreshed than those sleepers that got enough deep sleep.[3] It is generally recommended that adults get between 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night so that your body has adequate time to cycle between REM and non-REM sleep, and you can get that much-needed restorative time from deep sleep. Doing so will help your body’s energy levels the next morning and throughout the day.
While you might not exercise every day, you should at least make sure you are moving your body. Being sedentary (sitting for long periods) can negatively affect your health. How? When your body isn’t moving, you use less energy than when you are standing or moving. This means you’ll have decreased heart rate, blood flow, and metabolism.[4, 5] Conversely, being active throughout the day can help improve your overall well-being while also lifting your mood, improving blood circulation, building muscular strength, and helping to maintain your body weight.[6] It’s also an energy boost! If you find the afternoons leave you feeling sluggish, try going for a walk, doing some stretches or light exercise. You’ll not only boost your energy levels, but you’ll also boost your mood. All it takes is 30 minutes a day for five days a week to hit the American Heart Association’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity every week.[6] Start with just a few minutes a day and slowly build until you’re moving more and feeling energized.
Life gets busy for most of us these days, and that can cause stressors to pop up between our home life and work life. But did you know that stress can negatively impact your energy? While in the moment you might feel anxious, prolonged stress can decrease your energy levels and cause fatigue, especially if you’re not sleeping well. Luckily, there are a few daily stress management activities you can practice that will help manage your stress and keep your energy levels from plummeting:
Additionally, you might consider supplementing with Ashwagandha. This herb has been clinically studied to help reduce stress. It’s important to first check with your healthcare professional before you consider taking a supplement.†
Your body needs a variety of vitamins and minerals every day to function at its best, so following a well-balanced diet is certainly important. But did you know there are some nutrients that will provide your body with the cellular energy it needs to function? Here are some you will want to consume through food or consider supplementing for additional support:†
The Bottom Line
Without a doubt, supporting energy levels is key when it comes to making the most of your day. To feel your best, you should prioritize your sleep, move throughout the day, take steps to manage stress, and eat a well-balanced diet. If you feel that dietary supplements could be useful for you, be sure to talk to your healthcare professional first before adding one to your daily regimen.
