Health and Your Life Improve Your Lifestyle

1. Get enough sleep.

   Sleep deprivation is the most common cause of low energy and fatigue. Most adults need 8 hours of sleep every night. If you are sleeping in late on weekends, it's a sign that you don't get enough sleep during the week.

   If you have to wake up early in the morning, go to sleep earlier in the evening. Going to bed even 30 minutes earlier can make a huge difference in your energy levels during the day!

2. Reduce clutter.

   Being unable to find anything among out-of-control piles of papers is stressful. Clothes that you never wear, papers that are falling everywhere and useless items you never use can invade your space and take over your life.

   Clutter causes stress and saps away energy. Dump all unnecessary stuff in a big garbage can. You'll be able to breathe easier and have increased energy.

3. Drink more water.

   Being dehydrated makes you feel tired and irritable. If you are not thirsty, that does not mean that you drink enough water. By the time you feel thirsty it's too late - you are already dehydrated.

   Most people need at least 8 cups of water per day. Water consumption is part of healthy nutrition. If it is difficult to drink water, try a flavored water or seltzer instead. Stay away from soda and coffee, however. Caffeinated beverages increase dehydration. The easiest way to know that you are drinking enough is to buy one of those "8 glass" water-bottles sold in most drugstores.

4. Take a walk.

   Sitting in the chair all day can make you feel stiff and tired, and then you'd feel too lazy to get up, creating a vicious cycle of inactivity. Regular activity is absolutely necessary for good health and increased energy.

   Make it into a habit to take a walk every day. Your muscles will be toned and you will enjoy increased energy.

5. Break a routine.

   Having the same old routine every day sucks out your soul and steals your energy. Do not allow yourself to get stuck in a rut! Do something new on a regular basis.

6. See a friend.

   Isolation is a recipe for bad mood and low energy. Even when you don't feel like dealing with anyone, spending time with a person whose company you enjoy will energize you.

7. Manage your weight.

   Carrying excess weight puts additional strain on the body. Even an extra 10 lbs are hard to carry. Try lifting a 10 lb sack of potatoes! Now imagine it being permanently attached to you - day and night.

   If you are overweight, it is a strain on your body to constantly carry the extra pounds. Make a healthy diet and nutrition a priority in your life to shed excess weight. You'll feel lighter and more energetic. It is also wise to increase the quality of your nutrition with a dietary supplement when trying to lose weight. The supplemental vitamins and minerals will create increased energy.
