In this high demand world it’s easy to work long days and get little sleep at night. However, some of us do happen to keep these things well managed. If this is you and you still feel beat at the end of the day it’s possible one of these six Energy Zappers could be the culprit.
Simple Ways To
Increase Energy
Information Overload
The Effect: As Over-Achievers, we ask a whole lot from our brains. We are constantly pushing ourselves to be smarter, more productive, more business savvy, etc. But pushing our brains too far in too short period of time can zap our energy.
The Solution: Take a power nap. Grand Forks N.D.'s Department of Agriculture's Human Nutrition Research center conducted a study and found that a 60-minute "Power Nap" not only restores energy levels but also helps with information retention
Low Magnesium
The Effect: Magnesium is used in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Including the breaking down of glucose to make energy. So when levels get a little low energy levels tend to get low as well. Says, New York University nutritionist Samantha Heller, MS, RD.
The Solution: Eat fish like halibut and Mackerel during the week. Add a handful of cashews, almonds, or hazelnuts into your daily diet. And/or intake more whole grains like old fashion oatmeal or bran. cereal.
