6 Ways to Increase Energy with the Food You Already Eat- Part 3



The food we eat is packed with energy, but the sad part is that most of it is wasted due to the eating habits we develop growing up. Here are six ways to increase energy with the food you already eat. No fancy diets, just a different mentality for developing eating habits.

Increase your water intake

A surprising fact that most people don't really seem to think about is that the majority of people in the US are perpetually in a state of semi-dehydration, and the worst part is they don't even know about it. Water has a way of lubricating the systems of the body, so when it's time to start digesting after a meal, your body is ready to go.

Most people spend plenty of time drinking coffee, tea, and soda that they never stop for a glass of water. And check it out: Coffee and tea are diuretics, which means they cause you to pee more, which means an even greater loss of water.

Try to drink at least a gallon of water each and every day. It probably seems like a lot, but your body needs more water than you think. It's especially important to rehydrate in the morning, because your body is most rehydrated when you wake up.

Water can also help you lose weight
