Why Am I So Tired All The Time? 

5 Tips For Increased Energy And A Faster Metabolism So You Can Feel Amazing Again!

Dump The Fat Lady Look!

Victoria, I have a question about my fat lady body. I am so sick and tired of getting up everyday feeling like a young person stuck in an old fat ladies body. I am 20 pounds overweight and I am not that old, yet I feel like I am a hundred! I have no energy, I can’t stand getting dressed because nothing fits and I have stopped going out with my girlfriends because I hate looking like their mother even though we are abroad the same age. I want to work out, but I don’t have the energy. Do you know why I am so tired all the time? Do you have any suggestions on how I can both change my body and get more energy? Thank you ~ Annette

Hi Annette, I totally get it. It seems despite more technology to make life easier people are still tired all the time? Perhaps it’s because it allows you to do more and since we are doing more, all the reason why you need more energy. We all need more energy to meet the challenges and opportunities of our lives with gusto. Many of us think that to get more energy we have to consume more caffeinated drinks or take more dietary supplements. A huge industry has risen around supplying us with canned energy! There’s nothing wrong with a few cups of coffee or tea, and some herbal supplements have promising benefits. Relying too heavily on these methods, however, can take a huge toll on your health and on your wallet. Most of the professional athletes I work with suffer from the same problem, but what I have them do is drink green tea. My favorite is Victoria’s Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder! It’s amazing because it will give you tons of energy without all the jitters. My favorite thing to do with the tea powder is to put it in my shakes. I sometimes will put them in gelatin capsules and take them right before a workout. They are great! Here’s why it’s superior to other teas:

WHY AM I SO TIRED ALL THE TIME?

5 TIPS FOR INCREASED ENERGY, FASTER METABOLISM SO YOU CAN FEEL AMAZING AGAIN!

1. Get The Right Amount Of Sleep

Your body and brain need sleep. Cutting back on sleep can make it seem like you are being more productive if it adds hours to the day, but cutting back on sleep makes you function less effectively. Everyone needs different amounts of sleep, so the best thing to do is to find out how much sleep you need by taking a few days off and going to bed when you feel sleepy and waking up when you naturally would. After that, you can use this measure to make a sleep schedule that fits your needs.

2. Limit Your Carbs And Increase Protein

Your brain needs the energy to function just like your body does and the kind of energy that you give it – especially early in the day – can make a huge difference. Complex carbs from sources like cereals and bread slowly give you energy throughout the day. Simple carbs from sources like fruit give you a rush of energy and then burn out. Combining these sources by putting jam on toast or chopped fruit on oatmeal can get you started and sustain you until your next meal. Proteins aren’t a major source of energy for most people, but they do offer some energy and take time to digest so incorporating a protein into your morning meal can also help you feel full for longer.

3. Get Vitamins And Minerals From A Balanced Diet

The kinds of carbs that you get in aren’t the only way that a healthy diet can help you to stay sharp. Your brain functions and communicates with other parts of your body through a series of electrical charge that requires a specific bodily environment. This environment involves maintaining levels of specific dissolved minerals including calcium and potassium. Calcium comes from dairy products as well as some green leafy vegetables. Potassium is found in potatoes and bananas. Making sure that you have these minerals in your diet is important, but what is more important is keeping a balanced diet in general.

4. Stay Hydrated

Another way to maintain your energy levels through nutrition is to get in the habit of staying hydrated. The chemical processes that turn food into energy require water, so when you don’t have enough water your body has trouble making the most of your food. Caffeine is a diuretic, meaning that it tells your body not to hold onto water. If you start the day with a high-caffeine beverage like coffee, just be sure to have some water too. Tea is another great option because it has caffeine, but not as much. If you like to sip something warm throughout the day, try tea – or even hot water with some lemon.

5. Keep Active

Keeping your body moving is another great habit to get into to boost mental energy. As mentioned above, your brain needs nutrients to work at its best. Getting these nutrients into your body through a healthy diet is only the beginning.  Once in your body, these nutrients are carried to where they need to go by the blood. Blood can still get to your brain while you’re sitting or standing still, but you can get extra blood to your brain by moving around. When you’re active – even just a little active – your heart pumps faster and stronger so more blood gets too hard to reach places. You don’t have to run or lift weights for this to work, just be sure to get up and walk around every now and then if your job has you sitting in one place for long periods. Coffee is a fine way to start the day, but if you’re relying on it for your mental energy, you could save yourself some steps by developing some healthier habits.  Getting the right amount of sleep, starting the day with breakfast, staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, and staying active are pretty basic health moves that can make your body healthier but that can also boost your mental energy.

Let’s recap! It’s important to get enough sleep, eat more protein, make sure to take a multivitamin daily, stay hydrated, and get active every day. Most importantly, don’t forget to add…
