Easy Energy Boosters

Earthsense

These days, it’s difficult to find the energy to make it through the fast pace of life.  Between professional obligations, wanting to spend time with family, and of course, trying to fit in personal goals and fitness, it can all start to feel like there’s just not enough time in the day.  But there are a few simple things you can do to help boost your energy and your mood.  

Start by drinking antioxidant rich green tea and try a handful or nuts like walnuts or almonds.  The protein and healthy fats in nuts can help keep hunger at bay and to give you a boost of energy.  If you’re feeling a little rundown sitting in front of the computer, get up and move!  Take a five minute walk around the office to wake up.  But the best way to keep your energy stores high is to get your rest!  Try to sleep a full seven and a half to eight hours a night.
