So you're lacking energy you feel tired I get it
but the good news is in this week's video I'm going to teach you how to keep
those energy levels up
so let's begin with lifestyle factors now in today's 24/7 world we tend to cram in so much into
our life don't we tend to suffer because
we start to forget about looking after
ourselves, now before we begin running through the
tips I want you to think about these few
question so what's your diet like is it
healthy? Are you eating lots of fruit, are
you in lots of veg
are you sleeping well, are you having
your meals on time, are you having lots
of alcohol, drinking lots of caffeine,
drinking lots of energy drinks so please
really think about these as we run
through the tips so lifestyle tip
number one which is probably one of the
most important things is you need to
make sure that you're having a healthy
balanced diet because it's the foundation
to your energy so you need to be having
whole grains, you need to be having
proteins, you need to have fruit, you need
have veg but it's not as simple as this
to explain in this short video so
thankfully the NHS have done a really
good article on this on how to have a
healthy balanced diet and I will leave a
link in the description below which I
would recommend everyone to read just to
make sure you're doing everything right
lifestyle tip number two by the way I do
think this shot is a little low but
there's a reason for it and if it works
it's gonna look quite cool, eat at
regular intervals so if you do this it
should help sustain your energy levels
and also don't miss breakfast because
apparently a third of us this is a third apparently, miss it and that's not going to
help sustain energy levels so eat at regular intervals have three meals a day and if
you get peckish in between it and you
feel like having a little snack have
some healthy fruits lifestyle tip number
three eating iron rich food because if
your iron levels are low it can leave you
feeling tired and rundown now this is
especially important in teenagers and
ladies because you're at higher risk of
losing iron in your menstrual blood
during your periods now let's sit on that
chair for the next bit, now the good news is that there's loads of foods that are
really rich in iron for example you've
got red meat, green vegetables and even
fortified foods like cereals I will also
leave a full list in the description
below for you as well tip
number four are you staying hydrated well
it's recommended that we're having six
to eight glasses of water a day and by
the way this is an addition to the
fluids that we get from our food you
should also watch your alcohol intake as
this can cause dehydration and also
caffeine yes it's true caffeine will
give you that kick and it will give you
that energy but with time you're gonna
build tolerance and you're gonna need
more and more and more caffeine to give
you the same level of energy and when
you're not getting that you're gonna
feel more tired
and please remember that both alcohol and caffeine are gonna affect your sleep
quality so in the long term you are
gonna feel more tired because of this
lifestyle tip number five so cut down on
sugar now generally speaking we know the
people in the UK adults and children eat
way too much sugar and I know you're
gonna get sugar kick to begin with that
buzz of energy we're going to quickly
have a sugar low and it's going to leave
tired and it's gonna leave you drained
now you maybe take it to yourself but
Abraham how on earth do I cut down sugar
it's so much easier said than done and
you're right sugars in almost everything
it's in fruit it's in veg however the
ones in fruit and veg are fine so you're
completely fine to have them but in terms
of cutting down sugar it is very
complicated but thankfully the NHS have
done a really good article on this about
foods that have more sugar and how to
cut down so what I will do is I'll leave
a link in the description below for you
and I guarantee you if you read this
you're gonna become a sugar whizz okay so we've done diet but now let's look at
some other issues so a few common
questions I ask my patients are, are you
exercising? Are you napping during the
day and also are you taking any
medicines any herbal medicines because
some of these can cause tiredness too so
let's go onto that
okay so imagine
this for one second I have a pill and
it's a magical pill it's amazing when
you take it it's gonna boost your mood
it's gonna boost your sleep quality it's
gonna boost your energy levels it's
gonna reduce your risk of certain
medical conditions like heart disease
diabetes and many more and best of all
it has no side effect and it's
completely free now unfortunately this
pill doesn't exist but I think if it did
everyone in the world would be taking it
including myself well my friends the
name of that magical pill is exercise
and I'm afraid it's not as easy as
taking a pill I'll give you that
let me put the magical pill way
but if you do fit it in you're gonna get
all the benefits I've mentioned and
they're all proven so please try to fit
it into your daily schedule and reap the
rewards I'll also leave more information
in the description below about how much
exercise you should do and ideas of what
you can do now please remember that
there's no single food including those
labeled superfoods that can compensate
an unhealthy diet there's also no
evidence that suggests that one single
food can boost your energy levels
most people don't need a vitamin
supplement to boost their energy levels
and you can get all of these from a
healthy balanced diet
now there's also medical reasons that
can cause tiredness and it's recommended
that you should speak to your doctor
about these I will leave a full list in
the description below and I'd recommend
everyone to read it always remember that
you're awesome
I hope my tips helped and I'll see you
