When you think about being tired and needing more energy, does coffee or an energy drink come to mind? If so, it’s not surprising, since this is where most people’s thoughts go. But believe it or not, there are many (healthy) ways to boost your energy levels more naturally without even consuming caffeine.




Try to Get More Sleep


This probably won’t surprise you, but the better sleep you get, the more energy you are going to have in the morning. If you have a habit of getting poor sleep that is constantly interrupted, then you will have low energy during the day that is hard to avoid unless you have large amounts of caffeine. To avoid this, start a nighttime routine that gets you restful for sleep, go to bed at a decent hour, and try to remove distractions by turning off your phone and keeping the TV off. A blue-light filter, eye mask, black out curtains, a weighted blanket or even aromatherapy may help here.


Eat your Vitamins


You also want to be sure you are eating a well-balanced diet that allows you to get all the important nutrients you need for proper energy. If you don’t have enough vitamin D in your diet and don’t get regular access to sunlight, your vitamin D could be low, leading to deficiencies. You also need other nutrients, including protein, fat and select carbs for energy. You can have your provider check your bloodwork to see if there are any deficiencies that might be leading to a lack of energy throughout the day. On occasion, B vitamin deficiencies are found and easily fixed by eating foods rich in B's or supplementing.


Add Seeds to Your Diet


Hemp, Chia and Flax seeds are an excellent source of energy-producing nutrients, including healthy fats, fiber, and protein. They are really easy to use in drinks, meals, and snacks, from topping your oatmeal with them to adding them to smoothies. You can also use chia seeds to make chia seed pudding by soaking them in nut milk (I use coconut), or water and adding any flavors you choose.


Get Regular Exercise


Exercise is going to help your energy levels in a number of different ways. First, it helps to boost your mood and give you an instant burst of energy once your workout is over. This is why exercising in the morning can be really beneficial. You will notice that you have more energy throughout the day when you exercise at this time. Exercising more often will also take you to a place where you are more rested at night, helping you to get more sleep.
