Increase Energy Levels Naturally

Keeping your energy levels up throughout your busy day can be a problem if getting enough sleep and exercise tends to fall at the bottom of your to-do list. Although tempting, try not to slip into the pattern of eating sugary snacks to get that much needed energy boost or having another cup of coffee to get through that afternoon energy slump. They may work for the short term but will adversely affect your health if diet and weight loss are your long term goals.

Nutritional supplements are the way to go if you want to avoid fatigue and that crash and burn from sugar or caffeine. The proliferation of quick fix remedies, such as energy drinks or shots, is a symptom of our busy lives and fitting too many obligations into a task-filled day. The best thing you can do for yourself is to get at least eight hours of sleep at night and fit in 20 minutes of aerobic activity three times a week into your routine. Consider treating yourself to a cup of chamomile tea at bedtime to soothe yourself to sleep and getting outside to walk the dog or jog with the kids as easy ways to keep your healthy lifestyle on track.

If you experience that mid-morning or afternoon slump at work, consider trying Douglas Laboratories' Brain Energy capsules to improve your concentration and focus when you need it the most. Brain Energy by Douglas Labs contains tyrosine, an amino acid known to enhance alertness and improve neurotransmitter responses in the brain. Vital Nutrients also offers their Energy Plus capsules that contain ginseng and the Chinese herb fo-ti, renowned in Eastern medicine as a longevity tonic.

If you lead a very physical life and want to keep your performance and activity levels up, you may want to consider a scientifically formulated supplement. Although many sports drinks have high-profile endorsements and tout their benefits through marketing brochures, they're also full of sugar and may end up dropping your energy levels to zero. Athletes need to replenish electrolytes lost through physical exertion, and Pure Encapsulations offers their Electrolyte/Energy Formula in a great-tasting, lemon-lime flavor that you can mix with water and drink right before a workout.
