7 STEPS TO TAKE TO HAVE MORE ENERGY

I often find myself talking to people about energy a few times daily. The first question I ask them is, "What are you eating?" The response is one of the two: "I eat healthily," or "Well, I eat when I can, but usually pretty good". As the conversation continues, I find out that those two responses are usually off just a bit. Here are 7 ways to obtain more energy daily.
1. FOOD
Eating well-balanced meals is the best way to be efficient and to teach your body what to do with carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. There are many trending diets that can get you where you want to be. However, they are not sustainable and you find yourself right back where you started a few months later. Here is a tip to increase morning energy naturally: HYDRATE! Drink 12-20 ounces of water upon waking up. EAT! Food is energy, so eat some protein so your body knows to begin functioning. Have some fat so your body knows to utilize fat for energy. Carbs can wait until mid-morning since your glycogen was replenished when you were sleeping. We want to wait until we use the carbs in storage, then replenish. Bigger meals should be eaten in the daytime as more energy is needed and your metabolism slows down toward the evening.
