THINK BACK to a time when you were full with energy. Isn’t it a great feeling when you have the capacity to take on any physical challenge that’s being thrown your way?
There are a lot of benefits that come with having a lot of energy; When you feel great, you’re able to knock any item off your to do list, enjoy a boost in productivity, and you might even be motivated to make a positive change in your life.
Adjusting your nutrition can help you do just that. Apply the tips in this article, and I have no doubt you will be full with energy again.
If You Want to Be Full With Energy, You Must Be Consistent
When it comes to feeling more energetic, you must put in consistent efforts. You can’t just eat healthy, sleep well, and drink lots of water for one day; You must practice good habits daily if you want to reap their benefits.
If you’re unsure about how you can recharge your energy reservoirs, try practicing these dietary habits:
1. Drink at Least 2 Litres of Water Daily
Water is an essential nutrient at any age, and how much you consume daily affects how you feel both physically and mentally.
According to this article by the Harvard School of Public Health, an adequate intake of daily fluids is around 13 cups (3.1 litres) and 9 cups (2.2 litres) for healthy men and women, respectively.
How much water are you drinking daily?
2. See a Naturopath for Your Vitamin and Mineral Levels
Naturopathic medicine uses natural remedies to help your body heal itself.
At this very moment, it’s possible that you’re lacking essential vitamins and minerals in your diet, or that you have a genetic predisposition that prevents you from absorbing them properly.
Consulting a naturopath is the best way to find out what your body is lacking.
If they prescribe you to take supplements, it’s important that you take them daily. You shouldn’t expect to feel better immediately; It takes some time before your vitamin and mineral levels adjust.
3. Eat at the Same Time Every Day
Eating at the same time every day is another great way to boost your energy levels
Rather than skipping breakfast one day and then eating it on another, or just snacking and then eating an overly large meal in the evening, you want to eat meals of similar caloric density at the same time every day.
Put differently, if you eat breakfast at 7 am, lunch at 1pm and supper at 6pm, you want to keep that timing consistent. Furthermore, if you typically just eat some fruit in the morning, but then change it to eggs and steak, your body will take some time to adjust.
So, How Can You Be Full With Energy Again?
If you haven’t noticed a trend yet, let me give it to you straight and simple: Consistency is the key to feeling better about yourself, both mentally and physically.
If you want to reap the benefits of a good action, you must repeat it consistently and in the same context. Once the behaviour feels automatic and you can do it without making an active decision, you’ve broken through the plateau of latent potential and a habit is born. And you know you’re on the right path once you take healthy action on autopilot.
James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits, put it best, “The only way to become excellent is to be endlessly fascinated by doing the same thing over and over. You have to fall in love with boredom.”
