Make way for vital energy
Lack of energy has, unfortunately, become a modern health condition. More and more people feel overwhelmed by stress and overwhelmed by events. More and more people say they are tired and lacking energy. A hectic lifestyle, lack of exercise and an unbalanced diet are largely the causes of poor metabolism.
In order to get through the cold season in good health, which for many is a period of fatigue, stress and depression, it is important to give your body what it needs to stay the course. Fortunately, there are natural and effective solutions.
Running out of energy?
Are you often tired when you wake up? Does everything seem like a chore to you? Do you have difficulty finishing your days?
When your body is tired, it is important not to try to stimulate it with sugar, caffeine or any other stimulants. Although it seems like the right thing to do, your energy boost would only be short-lived. Additionally, these ephemeral stimulants are better at enervating the nervous system than actually increasing energy levels.
But we know it well, it is during more difficult times that the desire for stimulants is at its maximum. Remember that the boost given to your body will not last and your fatigue may be even greater once the stimulating effect wears off. Instead, opt for healthy and sustainable solutions.
Sugar, an energy sapper
Let’s talk a little more about sugar!
While this can be seen as a great stimulant during a loss of energy, it is important to understand that it does not act as a tonic. Sugar, especially when consumed in excess, has a devastating effect on the entire body, especially refined sugar. In the body, it acts a bit like a thief of B complex vitamins, magnesium and calcium, three nutrients essential for the balance of the nervous system and energy production. Regular consumption of sugar acidifies, devitalizes and demineralizes the body. In short, while we took it to perk up, sugar instead ends up undermining our energy and vitality.
To best benefit from the true boost effect of sugar, it is best to choose whole foods that naturally contain sugar. Fresh or dried fruit, for example. These foods will provide you with more stable energy than those containing refined or added sugar, without the many harmful consequences.
Consume enough protein
Sufficient protein intake at every meal is not common and that is unfortunate. This macronutrient is not only useful for athletes or those looking to increase their muscle mass. Quite the contrary! Proteins, whether plant or animal, are part of the composition of our tissues and our enzymes, they support digestion and basal metabolism, etc.
Adding a protein source to each meal will help slow the absorption of sugars from your plate. Thus, blood sugar peaks, and therefore energy fluctuations, will be less drastic.
Nourish your body, it will give you energy!
To enhance your vital energy, it is essential to nourish your body adequately. You have to find what makes you feel good, what gives you a certain balance. Remember, everyone is completely different. The needs of your friend, neighbor, colleague, brother, mother are not yours. If it works for them, it won't necessarily work as well for you and vice versa.
Also, be patient. Any change takes time. You will probably see an improvement quickly, but maintain your good habits over a long period of time in order to see real lasting change.
Strengthen your body
There are several ways to strengthen your body. Among these, incorporating foods and beverages that are full of antioxidants is a fairly safe bet. Also, moving regularly should be part of the list. Try to make room for them in your daily life and go with what suits you. Although green juices are super beneficial for your health, if you don't like them, choose another form of antioxidants, there are plenty!
Adding natural products can also be a big help, if you choose the ones that suit you.
Probiotics
Probiotics are one of those essentials that should not be neglected. By balancing the intestinal flora, probiotics greatly contribute to the immune system and digestion. With stronger immunity and better digestion, you will see your vital energy grow.
Magnesium
The tissues that contain the highest concentration of magnesium are those that play a role in energy production. This mineral promotes increased cellular energy production in addition to promoting body relaxation.
Magnesium also plays a fundamental role in the balance of the nervous system. During times of stress, magnesium levels plummet. Too low a level of magnesium could cause several negative effects, including even more stress, mental and physical fatigue.
Review your lifestyle
Natural products adapted to your needs are an excellent solution to help you regain your vital energy. However, it is essential to improve your lifestyle. Incorporate exercise. Adopt better stress management. Enjoy the outdoors. But above all, balance your plate. These changes will definitely take more effort than taking new supplements. But this winning combination will not only take you towards your goal, it will keep you there for the longer term.
