1. Keep yourself hydrated: Drink multiple glasses of water. It maintains the balance of body fluids. When your body lacks enough fluids, you become dehydrated and your overall performance can suffer due to muscle fatigue. Drained and depleted souls can get the lifting they need by gulping down enough water. Similarly, drinking water as soon as you wake up helps to get your digestive system running. Water is also wonderful for the skin as it hydrates it from inside out preventing ageing indications like wrinkles. It will also give the skin a natural glow, making you feel fresh!
2. Take power naps: Adequate sleep is something our busy lifestyles can deprive us of. But a short nap of 20-30 minutes during the day can enhance our performance by keeping us alert and in a good mood. Studies show that a power nap has psychological benefits as it makes the mind relax. However, it's vital that you have a favourable environment to sleep. Make sure it's a noise-free restful place where you can catch some shut-eye. Eating foods like cilantro can benefit you by improving the quality of your sleep, as it is a calming herb. Improved alertness and rejuvenation is sure to come your way!
3. Breathe in, breathe out: This is a proven method to relax the body, mind and soul. Breathe deep into your belly and feel your lungs expand. Close your eyes while at it and concentrate. Trace the flow of air that enters your nostrils, all the way to your diaphragm. You can feel an instant release of stress and tension from your mind and body. Deep breathing rids the body of 70% toxins, boosting your energy levels. It increases stamina and boosts the immune system. The circulatory system also gets pumped up. There are tons of breathing exercises that can be tried out in quick time to get best results!
4. Eat green leafy vegetables: Everyone knows the health benefits of eating green leafy veggies. The heavy presence of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients makes it a super food that reduces the risk of illness, and keeps your skin and hair beautiful. The chlorophyll in the vegetables detoxifies the blood which revitalizes the energy levels in the body. Salads also help in improving moods and reducing depressions. Lettuce and broccoli should be made the predominant salad vegetables and can be used in abundance. Make it a point to have at least five servings of vegetables a day as part of your diet to feel vibrant.
5. Smell Lemons: A glass of lemon juice is definitely refreshing, and so is its aroma. Citrus smells from oranges and lemons revitalize your senses and stimulates alertness. The aromas boost up a feel-good hormone called serotonin and brings down the levels of norepinephrine, which is a stress hormone. It promotes concentration. Other scents like sandalwood can be used to calm anxiety. Add a drop of essential lemon oil to your handkerchief and sniff it throughout the day to feel the energy rise!
6. Have a chocolate handy: Eating a piece of chocolate offers that bit of caffeine needed to boost energy. The flavonoids found in cocoa improve cognitive skills and puts you in a positive mood. You can limit your intake by keeping individually wrapped squares of pieces of chocolate handy. Dipping into chocolate when you are stressed or depressed can actually benefit you as it slowly reduces the stress hormones and calms anxiety by releasing endorphins.
7. Drink tea: Tea can be an excellent energy booster, especially in the afternoons. Black teas reduce stress and quicken the body's recovery process. Teas that contain caffeine and sugar may provide a sudden rush of energy. But this is only temporary. Coffee also provides only temporary energy and in the long term the caffeine can affect health. Teas can be refreshing and uplifting and provide a much healthier alternative to coffee. Black tea provides the most energy boosting caffeine. Herbal teas also help in increasing energy levels naturally.
As life burns down your energies, it's important to know how get right back up. Rejuvenation is the constant need of the day. May these street smart approaches re-energize your tired bodies for you to lead a fuller and happier life!
