No matter what stage of life you are in, maintaining your energy level is often a struggle. Sometimes it can be difficult to complete basic tasks of everyday life. When you feel like you are running on fumes, the smallest errands can be overwhelming. If you want more energy on a regular basis, below are three recommendations to incorporate into your routines.

Diet

One of the biggest causes of lack of energy is a poor diet. Your diet includes everything you put into your body: food, drinks and supplements. If you have a poor diet, chances are your energy level is going to suffer because your body is not getting the nutrients it needs to stay alert during the day. The first part of your diet you need to evaluate is your meals and snacks. Whether you are a student, parent or nearing your golden years, life gets busy and it is so easy to eat whatever is convenient or whatever you are craving. Trading junk food for healthy meals and snacks can make a massive difference in your energy levels. Your diet should be primarily nutrient-rich foods, such as fruit, vegetables and proteins. Meat is an excellent source of protein, which helps keep you full. If you are a vegetarian, protein options include lentils, tofu and chickpeas. While fats and carbs are necessary to your diet, they should not be the primary food on your plate at every meal.  The second piece of your diet to reconsider is supplements. People often forget supplements are available to them. Even with healthy meals, you may fall short of some essential minerals and nutrients. This is where supplements come in. A multivitamin can help you reach your daily intake of minerals. Additionally, a supplemental program, such as the Le-Vel Thrive Experience, can vastly increase your energy. If you are wondering "What is Thrive?", the answer could be a game-changer to your diet. The Le-Vel Thrive Experience is a lifestyle program that includes three main products: Ultra Micronized Shakes, Premium Lifestyle Capsules and Lifestyle DFT. Together, these products can not only increase your energy but improve weight loss and better your immune support. 

Sleep

If you are not getting enough deep sleep each night, this can zap your energy for the next day. Instead of pounding four cups of coffee to stay awake, evaluate your nighttime routine to see if there is room for improvement. Some small changes can make a big impact. Go to bed at the same time every night, even on the weekends. This will establish routine and familiarity for your body, so it becomes easier to fall asleep at night. Turn off all electronics a couple of hours before going to bed. The bright lights stimulate your brain and make it harder to fall asleep. Avoid caffeine and sugar in the hours before bedtime. If you are still waking up tired, with low energy, consider talking 

with a doctor. You may be suffering from something that needs further attention, such as sleep apnea. 

Exercise

Exercising can increase your energy for hours after you are done, even if it is a brief workout. If you find yourself getting drowsy in the afternoon, start scheduling an afternoon workout. If you work in an office, your lunch break is the perfect time to escape. If you have a gym membership, utilize the facility's equipment or classes during your lunch break. Most gyms will have a locker room, so simply exercise, take a quick shower and head back to the office feeling recharged. If you do not have a gym membership, get creative with your workouts. Go for a run outside or simply walk around the building during your break. If you have a private office, play a workout lesson on your computer and follow along. Simply bring some deodorant and wipes to freshen up after. A lack of energy can have a negative impact on your day-to-day life. The good news is there are simple steps you can take to make a change. Incorporate these steps into your routine to bring your energy level up during the day.
