As lifestyles continue to get busier and more hectic, it is no surprise people are looking for ways to boost their energy levels. Natural sources of energy can help keep you going throughout the day without being harmful to your health.
Foods
A diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, eggs, beans and lentils will help provide plenty of energy. Ensure you have a good healthy breakfast and eat regularly throughout the day. It will help keep your blood sugar -- and your energy levels -- stable.
Exercise
Getting plenty of fresh air and exercise helps lift the mood naturally and significantly increases energy levels. The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans state that adults should get at least two hours and 30 minutes each week of aerobic physical activity that requires moderate effort. They should also do strengthening activities two days a week to reap the full benefits.
Herbs
According to "Psychology Today," certain energy-boosting herbs can help give you a boost when you are feeling sluggish. Herbs such as ginseng and licorice increase energy levels because they are adaptogens -- they will help the body adapt to internal or external stress and calm the nervous system.
