Most of us often feel tired during the day. What can we do to recover our energy?

Proper nutrition

Stay away from unhealthy fats and sugar, and opt for foods with a low glycemic index (e.g. whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, olive oil), as they ensure a variety of nutrients in the body and a steady flow of energy. Also, eat small and frequent meals and snacks to properly distribute the calories – that is, the energy – you get from your diet throughout the day.

Daily exercise

As much as you feel like you can't handle exercise when you're tired, remember that regular exercise makes us feel less tired in the long run. Even 30 minutes of walking a day will help you significantly.

Quality sleep

Many of us do not get enough quality sleep and as a result we do not have energy during the day. To sleep well:

• Go to bed at the same time every day
• Get up at the same time in the morning
• Avoid short naps during the day
• Take time to relax before going to sleep

Less stress

Stress also reduces some of our energy levels. A conversation with a loved one, contact with nature, meditation and yoga are some of the methods that help reduce stress.

The power of the sun

Going outside and enjoying 30 minutes of sunlight ideally before 9am (or any time before sunset), activates a neural circuit that controls the hormones cortisol and melatonin. This helps produce enough melatonin for a better night's sleep.

Necessary hydration

Lack of energy is one of the first symptoms of dehydration. Make sure you provide your body with enough fluids, water, fruits, vegetables and teas.
