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.
Don't eat after 7pm
Other parts of the world
might be different, but most Americans tend to eat pretty late at
night, and this can have a really negative effect on your energy levels. One of the most important reasons for this is that late night
eating disrupts both your sleep and your digestion. At night, your
body is powering down for rest. When you sleep, it needs energy to
restore everything else. However, digestion by itself takes up a
tremendous amount of energy, and that conflicts with everything else
your body is trying to do.
Most of the time, your food
will simply sit in your stomach instead of digesting, because the
body is busy shunting energy over to other areas. As a result, you
wake up groggy and low on energy the next morning.
For the coming seven days,
try to avoid eating anything after 7pm. It's actually pretty hard to
resist, but stick with it for a week, and you'll find that you get
better sleep and have a huge surge in energy the following morning.
Now with all that extra energy, you can get into a daily workout routine
