Balanced Meal: Eating a heavy meal or stuffing till the time we feel loaded gives a sleepy feeling. Ensure your meal are dominated by fresh seasonal vegetables and pulses. This will not only give the right nutrition for your body but will also detox your system simultaneously. Vitamins and minerals accelerate the basic chemical reactions in the body for various functions. Low intake of vitamin and minerals affects the immune system which slows down the body metabolism and shows decline in energy levels. Eat fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals and keep a faster body metabolism.
Water: Sometimes feeling thirsty can be a reason for lowered levels of energy. If you are dehydrated then you will feel fatigued and lack energy. Keeping the body hydrated will keep the metabolism high and faster digestion of food in the body. Drink plenty of water to keep energy levels high. Sometimes drinking too much coffee or tea also leads to dehydration. Avoid as much caffeine as you can. Instead switch to green tea for all its health benefits.
Sleep: Another reason that is often neglected is sleep. Maybe you are getting disturbed or not enough sleep resulting in a over worked mind & body. Sleep is essential as its the time when the body relaxes and repairs itself. Make sure you get atleast 7-8 hours of sleep. Avoid heavy meals or drinking just before sleep.
Exercise: If you are inactive then weak muscle can slow you down in doing basic movements where you will feel tired very quickly. Doing exercise improves blood flow in body and builds muscles to provide greater strength and energy to do work more efficiently. If you have never exercised before even then its never too late. Start with walking and then add different forms of exercise to help you get fitter. Or just start playing a sport to add some kind of physical activity to your routine.
