The combination of food eating habits, regular exercise, and
self-motivation is the best way to generate quick energy whenever you need
it.
There are moments when all of us feel the need for energy.
Unfortunately, there are no magic potions available though there are some
high-energy foods (like chocolates of crisps) and stimulants (like tea or
coffee) that can give you a temporary lift. But getting quick energy depends on
maintaining how to summon up the energy stored inside it.
Good Eating habits
Though most of us eat more than enough for our energy needs,
we do not always eat in the most efficient way for generating energy. Irregular
of unbalanced eating patterns make it hard to tap our energy resources when we
need them.
You should therefore try to eat three meals daily of roughly
equal energy value, avoiding hard-to digest, rich, stodgy or fried foods. Some
people prefer a bigger breakfast, others eat four or five small meals, with
their content healthy and nutritious; you should be constantly supplied with
energy.
If your energy does flag, make yourself a high-protein drink
from tomato juice, fruit juice or buttermilk by adding wheat germ or Brewer’s
yeast, both high in energy-giving vitamin B. Natural yoghurt and non-fat dried
milk are also good energy boosters, either on their own or mixed with fresh
fruit, juices, and wheat germ or Brewer’s yeast.
Regular Physical Exercise
Keeping your body in
peak physical condition makes energy self-generating. A good keep-fit routine
in the morning –even if it means 10 minutes of simple exercise like touching
your toes and running on the spot – will limber you up and get your circulation
going.
In the evening, after work, you should try harder exercises
such as jogging of swimming. Doing these on a regular basis will bring your
body into better condition and increase your ability to generate quick
energy.
If, during the day, your energy level falls, you can make it
rise again in a number of ways, take a brisk walk or do some keep fit exercises
during your lunch hour.
Self-motivation
Energy has a psychological as well as physical aspect. If
you feel enough motivation to do something, you can generally do it if you
summon up the necessary energy.
Therefore, when you have a task that requires a rapid release of energy,
or when you feel yourself going limp, take a few moments to think about what
must be done. Try to motivate yourself by reflecting on the tasks of
importance, or thinking about how good you will feel about achieving your goal.
Then get up …..and get on with it!
