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



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.

Do some cardio workouts

If you really want to pull every bit of energy from your food, try to develop a habit of doing 30 minute cardio workouts a few times a week. Or you can try an HIIT workout, and be done in about 20 minutes. That type of short exercise for athletes really boosts your body's intake capacity for your food.

Look at it this way: Food provides energy, and a high intensity cardio workout maximizes the way your body is able to process that energy and allow it to flow through your body.

During the next week, aim for a minimum of 120 minutes of cardio, spread out in about 30 minutes each day, doing it for 4 days total during the week. You don't need to go to the gym to do it either – there are plenty of bodyweight workouts that you can do right at home. 

Cardio is great for losing weight too.
