Are you looking for more energy to play with your kids, be present with loved ones, go to the gym, or feel more awake at work? Maybe you turn to multiple cups of coffee, energy drinks, and other packaged energy boosters, but these just leave you feeling even worse. Unfortunately, low energy is more than just a nuisance. When unaddressed, it can take a toll on folks’ physical and mental health. Does this resonate? The good news is that energy levels can be improved by properly nourishing your body! Here are a few tips:
1. Make sure you are eating enough protein. Aim for 15-30 grams at each meal. Having low protein can lead to a variety of consequences. For instance, low protein can result in reduced muscle mass, causing weakness, fatigue, imbalance, etc. Look to incorporate protein sources like meats, eggs, and dairy products into your meals.
2. Focus on fiber. Fiber is a carb that the body can’t digest. It helps regulate and stabilize the body’s use of sugars which can help prevent the body from a post-meal “crash.” When you build a meal, be sure to add fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, or nuts to increase fiber intake.
3. Don’t go too long without eating. Ideally, you should be eating a meal every 3-4 hours. If you work all day, this can be difficult. But instead of grabbing that afternoon coffee for a pick me up, grab a snack.
4. Eat balanced snacks (Include protein, fiber & healthy fats). For go-to balanced snack ideas check out our Snack Your Way to Success guide. You’ll get instant access to top snack recommendations and tips from a dietitian, as well as 20 snack ideas!
5. Stay hydrated. Wondering how much water you should drink? Aim for about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men and about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women. Staying hydrated can drastically improve your energy level.
6. Move your body. This doesn’t have to be vigorous exercise. It can simply be going for a walk after lunch, making sure to stand up from your desk every hour, or doing morning yoga. Regular movement helps your body create and use energy. It can also help promote better quality sleep which can help you feel more rested and energized!
