For many people, having enough energy, or feeling like they have enough energy is rare. People are busy, stressed, sick, overworked, or worried, and simply can’t seem to catch up. When was the last time you felt truly awake and energized? Even after a vacation, people tend to still feel like they need a vacation to recover from their vacation.

Many people also rely on coffee, other energy drinks, or health supplements that claim to improve energy levels but really just create a wave and a crash, or simply don’t work at all. So if you’ve been feeling like you can’t get ahead no matter how much you’re sleeping or how many cups of coffee you have each day, what can you do?

At Ameriden International, we have developed a line of natural health supplements that can truly provide some relief and a boost of energy you need in your life to feel like you can get through even the longest of days. We understand how strange it can feel to take supplements that contain unnatural ingredients that may or may not help with various symptoms you may be struggling with. That’s why we’re passionate about providing our customers with natural, high-quality ingredients that we’re confident can give you an extra boost of energy.

Exercise

It probably won’t come as a surprise that the first item on the list is exercise. Our bodies crave to be moved and worked and there are countless benefits when it is. In terms of increasing energy, exercising will help you sleep better, gives your body’s cells more energy to burn and circulate oxygen in the blood, and releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, hormones that provide an energized feeling. If you’re feeling an afternoon slump at work, try going for a brisk walk to help get your blood flowing.

Watch Your Diet

Probably everyone has had that lethargic feeling after overeating at dinner. But it’s not just one meal that can have an effect on your energy levels. If you continually eat processed foods, foods with too much sugar, or foods that are high in the wrong kind of fat, it will leave your body feeling drained. If you’re accustomed to eating three full meals a day and little in between each meal, try adjusting to eating more snacks and smaller “meals” throughout the day. This will give your body a steady supply of food to keep you fueled through the day.

Also pay close attention to the types of foods you’re eating. Avoid foods whose sugars will absorb quickly, leaving you feeling hungry and lethargic quicker. Foods with a low glycemic index, or with sugars that are absorbed more slowly, include whole grains, vegetables high in fiber, healthy oils like olive oil, and nuts. If you’re looking for a high-quality olive leaf extract, try Olivfactor from Ameriden. Be sure to also keep your body hydrated, whether it’s through glasses of water or fruits and vegetables with a high water content. Staying hydrated will is one of the best ways to keep your body from feeling fatigued.

Watch Your Sleep

Our lives are often so busy that when we feel tired, we often go straight to thinking that we’re not getting enough sleep, or we don’t have time to get enough sleep. However, it may be that you’re getting too much sleep, or you may be getting poor-quality sleep. While it’s recommended that everyone get between seven and eight hours of sleep, everyone is different. Some people might need less, and it’s rare that people need more than eight hours of sleep.

If you’re exercising, eating right, and don’t feel particularly stressed, try getting just five hours of sleep for one night and think about how deeply you slept for those five hours. The next night, try adding 15-30 minutes more. When you reach a point when you feel rested and you’re still sleep thoroughly for the whole time, that’s how much sleep your body needs. When you determine how much sleep your body needs, try keeping to a consistent schedule — going to bed and waking up at the same time each night, even on the weekends.

Lower Stress

No matter if you’re getting the right amount of sleep or not, if you’re stressed and your mind won’t stop turning at night, you won’t sleep well and you’ll be tired the next day. Feeling stressed, worried, or unfocused can also take up a lot of our energy. But trying to lower stress is much harder said than done with busy schedules, a difficult job, or countless other things that add stress to our lives. Consider talking with a therapist about certain issues, exercise can help reduce stress, or try meditation or yoga to take your mind off of what is stressing you. At Ameriden, we offer rhodiola rosea extract, a natural way to help relieve stress.

Quit Smoking & Limit Alcohol

Quitting smoking and limiting the amount of alcohol you drink is possibly one of the best ways to promote natural energy levels. Nicotine in tobacco is stimulant and will raise the heartbeat, blood pressure, and brain activity. When you smoke before bedtime, it will be harder to fall asleep. Alcohol, on the other hand, is a sedative, so if you’re looking for increased energy, you will definitely want to avoid drinking, especially at lunch.
