Simple tricks to boost energy naturally + thai noodle bowl recipe

 Our society is constantly being run down through long commutes, long work days, and constant stimulation from electronics.

 We may find that we are fatigued, sleepy, or unable to fall asleep which therefore leads to more fatigue.

 So how can we boost energy naturally?

 01 DRINK MORE WATER

Drink more water to increase energy levels. Dehydration can impact body functions and make you feel more fatigued.

 02 GET MORE SLEEP

This may seem obvious but many people who can’t figure out why they are always tired forget to sleep 8 hours a night. You may also want to focus on more restful sleep too. Sleep without phone and unwind before you got to sleep. Invest in a good and supportive pillow. You may think you are sleeping 8 hours a night but if you are restless you may not be getting enough ZZZs. 

03 STRESS LESS

Stress and fatigue are closely tied together. Adrenal fatigue is a common culprit because  the adrenal glands produce stress hormones which can make us feel fatigued when we are in these constant states of stress. This can lead to things like fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, etc. But adrenal fatigue isn’t the only way stress causes fatigue and can be linked to other body systems like the immune system, digestive and intestinal system. 

 04 BREATH

Insufficient breathing or shallow breathing can lead to fatigue. Not enough oxygen may be reaching your cells. 

 05 IMPROVE DIGESTION

Poor digestive function may be a contributor to your constant fatigue. When our digestive system is suffering, we may not be absorbing nutrients properly. 

 06 CUT THE CRAP

When we don’t eat nutrient dense foods, then we aren’t supplying our bodies with the fuel it needs.
