Experts share a range of tips to help you increase your energy levels throughout the day, from morning hydration and movement to optimizing your sleep schedule and incorporating light exposure.
From morning drinks to bedtime sounds – and don’t forget a mid-afternoon boogie – experts share tips to help you boost your energy levels
Eat beans, lentils, whole grains, leafy greens, berries, nuts and seeds. Fibre also “acts like an obstacle course for sugar, slowing its absorption into your bloodstream for longer-lasting energy”.The opposite is true for strength and conditioning, which done first thing “could be fatiguing, so do it in the afternoon when you’re properly fed and hydrated. That little bit of a cortisol will give you a little more energy though the evening.
Dr Mark Moss, head of psychology at Northumbria University, explains how: “If you believe something will help, in many cases it has been shown to do so.” Then, there’s the “likeability of a fragrance”, which “has been shown to impact on behaviour, with people doing better at tasks when exposed to an aroma they like”. Each aroma is made up of different volatile compounds “that stimulate different receptors that activate the olfactory bulb”.
“I use the word ‘spacious’ because the words ‘full’ or ‘deep’ encourage over breathing. It needn’t be a huge, deep breath, but an expansive and relaxed one. Feel how this relaxes your eyes, releases your jaw and slows your rate of breathing down, just like hitting your own reboot button.”“When your eyes are closing, you can’t focus, or your neck muscles start to nod, then nap,” urges Stanley.
