Energetic all day long
Reading time: 4-5 min
Getting up in the morning already tired. Not being able to go on without coffee and 11 o’clock. And after lunch a big afternoon dip … It is probably very recognizable for many people, but actually it is not so normal. If you are healthy, you should have enough energy, right? Only you have to manage that a bit. How to do that I tell you in this blog.
One caveat, though: the tips are not for parents with a baby (sorry) or for people on the night shift. They don’t work as well for that. But anyone who is just “busy” can get more out of their energy than they do now.
1. Start your day with movement
Movement in the morning helps your body wake up and get your mind on edge. It doesn’t have to be a heavy workout: a few minutes of stretching can make all the difference. Crawling from your bed straight to your laptop is not so helpful for your metabolism. A short walk is.
And what’s nice to know: at night, your body switches to fat digestion so you won’t wake up hungry at 3 a.m. You’ll be able to burn off some extra fat. If you start exercising in the morning and only drink a glass of water, you will immediately burn some extra fat cells.
Exercise stimulates blood flow to your brain and muscles, which increases your alertness. At the same time, it releases endorphins that lift your mood. That, too, gives you more energy.
2. Have breakfast
It’s not natural for most people these days to eat breakfast. If you do not do heavy physical work, it is not necessary, is the thought. However, the reverse is true. After your exercise (tip 1) you break – as the English say – the fast (breakfast). This has everything to do with the optimal functioning of your organs.
Until 7 a.m., it is “colon time” and the intestine needs to relieve itself. Between 7 and 11 is stomach and pancreas time. You have to give them something to do then. In other words, eat something.
A small eater takes only some fruit or two eggs. The big eater takes oats cooked in water with cinnamon and sea salt and some blueberries. Have something that you like, that does not have too much sugar and preferably eat something that contains protein and fat.
3. Drink plenty of water
You are not tired, you’re thirsty., an Iranian doctor once wrote. He is still right today. Do you crave sweet, salty, savory or just feel like stuffing something in your mouth. Don’t do it! First, take a large glass of water, add two grains of sea salt for the bite. Putting it directly on your tongue is also allowed and then drink your water. You will be amazed d are how much energy that gives.
Furthermore, forget about all the ‘gurus‘ who shout that you should ‘bulkdrink‘, because it is in one at once throw back of half or even a liter of water you only do when it’s 25 degrees or hotter and you are quite thirsty.
Instead, always drink 1 or 2 glasses of water as needed immediately after getting up anyway. An additional glass of water with each cup of coffee or tea and drink also Water if your concentration is going to dip. Success guaranteed!
By the way, the rule of thumb of 2 liters of water per day is gea law chiseled in marble chiseled. Factors such as the weather (cloudy/sunny), whether you are indoors or outdoors and whether you eat a lot or few vegetables are co-determining factors.
4. Also, exercise during the day
Sitting for long periods at a time can affect your energy considerably. Therefore, get up regularly and move briefly. This stimulates your circulation and brings more oxygen to your brain and muscles. The fastest method is 30 seconds every 30 minutes bouncing. That may be on a mini trampoline, but jumping without a trampoline can also fine. Take a short walk any 2 hours, 10 minutes is enough. If you like skipping rope: 1 minute 6 times a day will more than keep your circulation moving.
5. Plan your day at your own pace
Your energy level fluctuates naturally throughout the day. Often the morning hours (for many people) are best suited for tasks that require concentration and creativity. For others, this may also be in the late afternoon.
Some ideas
- Schedule important or complex tasks in the morning
- Use the afternoon for consultations, emails or routine tasks
- Take a real break around lunch – away from your screen, out into the weather. The dog will probably want to go with you.
By planning smartly, you work with your natural rhythm rather than against it.
6. Get a good night's sleep
A stable energy level during the day begins with recovery at night. Poor or too short sleep can lead to decreased concentration, irritability and daytime fatigue. Everyone sleeps in cycles of 1.5 hours, so plan it roughly so that you sleep a minimum of 6 hours, 7.5 hours is better and for some, 9 hours is necessary. However, if you wake up between the aforementioned numbers (after 6.5 or 8 hours) , for example by your alarm clock, you are more likely to wake up badly because the 1.5-hour cycle has broken down prematurely.
Better sleep is also done by:
- Maintain a regular sleep and wake rhythm
- No caffeine in the afternoon and evening
- Blue light from all displays goes to yellow light after 18 hours.
- Create a quiet, dark and cool bedroom
- Do not engage in difficult discussions after 8 p.m. at night.
Conclusion
Whether the dips disappear completely is not a guarantee, as the occasional dip is more or less part of it. You k unt limit them just fine, however, by planning, eating, exercising and sleeping smarter. Support yourself And get more out of your days!
Of course, the signs vary from person to person and sometimes certain symptoms persist. In that case, it is better to look further, for example at a complementary therapist who can help you with bioresonance, naturopathy, orthomolecular medicine or otherwise.
