6 ways to boost
your energy
Breathe deeply Listen to upbeat music
Expand your stomach with every
inhale and pull your belly button
towards your spine with every exhale. Upbeat songs have been proven to
increase your heart rate and can even
make you pick up the pace when you
are running.
Go for a walk Catch some rays (safely)
Research shows that workouts as brief
as 10 minutes can keep you energised
for more than four hours. Research shows that people are more
alert after having been exposed to
bright light.
Watch a funny video Get snacking
In a study conducted in 2014, people
who watched a funny video showed
an increased level of energy. Eating a mix of carbs, protein and fat –
think Greek yoghurt with berries and
walnuts, is the best combo for lasting
energy.
