Energy Levels
Do
you get that feeling sometimes like you're so tired your head is just
going to drop down at any moment? We've all been there, and it's hard to
deal with this feeling, especially when doing something important like
work or hanging out with family. That is why we've gathered these 15
ways to energize yourself you can do almost anywhere! We hope this will
help charge your battery!
15 Ways to Recharge Your Energy Levels
1. Eat a banana
Bananas provide minerals, nutrients and stimulants such as potassium,
which provides controlled energy, preferred to the type of energy
obtained all at once from simple sugars.
2. Place head between your legs
This trick will get blood flowing to your head. Sit on a chair and put
your head between your legs. Send your arms towards the floor and relax
your body for 20 seconds. After the time has passed, rise slowly,
vertebra by vertebra. This exercise will give you energy that gradually
unfolds.
3. Drink Green Tea
Yes we've said it before,
but the fact still remains that green tea has an abundance of
phytochemicals called tannins. These help, among other things, to calm
the nervous system and thus increase the feeling of well-being.
4. Pinch your cheeks
Our grandparents probably had a good reason to pinch our cheek. This
stimulates the blood flow to the face and makes you feel more alert.
5. Drink lots of water
All body systems require a large amount of water to function. In the
absence of water in the body, proper functioning slows, blood flow
becomes weaker and less oxygen reaches the brain. Drink a glass of water
every two hours at least, when the goal is to drink 8-12 glasses of
water a day.
6. Get some sun
Small doses of vitamin D
can be a great incentive. Take a walk or sit a few minutes in the sun.
Fresh air combined with natural light will make you feel more alert.
7. Move the body
Once you feel the fatigue taking over, get up and shake your body. Do
some stretching, push-ups, a short trip or just a few jumps instead.
Movement stimulates blood flow in the body and releases endorphins that
make you feel alert.
8. Laugh out loud
Laughter has
been shown to distress us but also acts as a natural stimulant. A good
belly laugh releases endorphins that neutralize the bad effects of the
hormone cortisol (stress hormone), increase blood flow and oxygen and
give you a sense of well being.
9. Take a deep breath
Take a deep breath and slowly let it out through your nose, and again,
fill your abdomen and exhale, emptying all the air from your lungs. Do
it three times. Breathing will help your body relax and get rid of
toxins, and the oxygen will stimulate you.
10. Put in a house plant
Stuffy offices have limited air movement which can increase fatigue and
cause headaches and allergies. Insert household plants that can help
filter out volatile chemical compounds and airborne pollutants, as well
as stimulate air movement to better help you deal with the standing air,
and make you feel less fatigued.
11. Smell a lemon
Certain smells like citrus, ginger and mint can produce a stimulating
effects and increase alertness. Light a scented candle or sniff a lemon
for stimulating energy and improved mood.
12. Surround yourself in red
Studies show that the color red is associated with a sense of victory
and confidence. Try to surround yourself in shades of red to elevate
your mood.
13. Sit upright
it wouldn't hurt to stand
up straight in the chair. An Upright posture not only helps blood and
oxygen to move more freely, but also enhances the sense of security.
14. Wake up the brain
When the brain feels drowsy, try to wake him by solving a crossword
puzzle, reading aloud, talking to a friend, a quick recitation or
singing.
15. Play with a pet
Spend time with your furry friend. It will make you feel happier and more energetic!
