7 Ways to Get More Energy

1. Replace Coffee with Peppermint Tea

According to Alan Hirsch, director of Neurological Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, the aroma of peppermint keeps us awake and energized. Whereas, coffee aroma dries our kidney glands and gets us tired easily.



2. Eat right

Leaving an empty and hungry stomach for three hours would drastically reduce our blood sugar. You would easily get tired and somehow emotionally unstable. Moreover, it would make you want to eat more than ever. Have high vitamin B snacks in between meals to maintain your energy. Banana, almond, low-fat-yoghurt, and fresh berries won’t hurt!



3. No Alarm

A research by University of Washington School of Medicine has proven that sleeping with a light on enhances our energy, mood, and productivity. Using alarms to wake up in the morning would only get you stressed.



4. Body Butter Treatment

Massage your back and ankle with lavender, peppermint, or lemon body butter to get you relaxed and energized.



5. Massage

A massage smoothens our blood flow, and therefore freshen up our body. Pay a visit to a day spa to get a professional treatment.



6. Play with water

Have a long warm bath or sauna to relax your intense muscle and tired body.



7. Doing nothing

Make time to have a complete rest by doing nothing. Your body needs to have a break every once in a while.
