We all have times when we just feel drained. Luckily there are a few key things you can do to get that energy back up to where it should be so you can finish the day without nodding off at your desk.

Sometimes we think we’re really tired it’s actually our bodies way of telling us that it needs more hydration. The next time you feel a little sluggish try drinking a glass of cold water. Our bodies sometimes mix up the signals for thirst and sleep so rule out thirst by taking in some H20.

Your body may be lacking in certain vitamins and minerals if you’re feeling constant fatigue. For example magnesium deficiency is linked to having a lack of energy. Hopefully taking a daily multivitamin and eating magnesium rich foods like fish, almonds and cashews will see a marked improvement in your energy levels.

As contradictory as it sounds health experts agree that being active will actually increase your energy. If you tend to get hit a slump at the same time every day get up from your desk and take a little walk around the office. Walking is an easy activity to do just about anywhere so get out and go for a little stroll the next time you feel tired.

Sometimes our brains just need a little break! We are bombarded with information constantly all day long so sometimes when we feel tired we really do need to take a break. Power naps have been proven to help the brain better retain information and recover from system-overload.

Being stressed and anxious uses up a lot of energy so if you’re feeling stressed or anxious it’s no wonder you have a lack of energy. Find ways to manage stress and relieve anxiety to get back your youthful energy.

Studies show healthy snacks between meals can boost energy. Humus on whole wheat crackers or yogurt with almonds are two great energy boosting snacks.

Putting some or all of these tips into practise should help to give you extra energy and bannish daily fatigue.
