A good way to think about it is this: Energy gets used in three ways: things we have to do, things we should do, and things we want to do.
Things we have to do are tasks that your body does naturally like break down food into usable form for your body or the activation and use of your brain. Things you should do goes toward healing and repairing. Everyday you break down your body by moving and performing activities, so your muscles have to heal and repair. Your third energy level is the things you want to do like playing with grandkids or running around with your dog. This level is important because life has to be enjoyable!
Most people aren’t getting to that level of doing what they want to do because they have to use all of their energy reserves to complete the first two levels. It’s time to fix this! It is possible to get your energy level up so you can do more of the things you WANT to do. Try these three tips right now to get started!
1. Control Stress Levels
Stress consumes huge amounts of energy. You can reduce your stress levels by talking with friends, joining a support group, picking up a relaxing hobby.
2. Exercise

3. Eat for Engergy
Eating for energy means avoiding food with unnecessary sugars and starches so you aren’t getting a fake sense of energy. For some people, it can also be a good idea to eat small meals and snacks every few hours rather than three large meals a day to keep a steady supply of nutrients in your body at all times. The key thing is that you must try new methods to find out how your body responds to nutrition best.
