Loss of energy and burnout are very common, especially in middle age. The following ways will help you regain energy effectively, some even slow down the aging process.
1. Identify problems related to disease
Being exhausted is a symptom of many common conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, anemia, thyroid disease or sleep apnea. Talk to your doctor if you feel unusually exhausted.
In addition, many medications can be a contributing cause of fatigue, including some blood pressure medications, antihistamines, diuretics, and others. If you start to feel low on energy after starting a new medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist to be changed to a different regimen.
2. Exercise your body to prevent burnout
Many studies show that physical activity helps regain energy.
Regular exercise has been linked to improved overall quality of life. Moderate exercise improves the efficiency of the heart, lungs, and muscles.
3. Do yoga
Although most aerobic exercises are good for burnout, yoga is especially effective for regaining lost energy. Joining weekly yoga classes, continuously for many weeks will help clear the mind, bring energy, happiness and confidence.
4. Drink lots of water
Dehydration expends energy and reduces work performance, especially for people who exercise at high intensity such as weightlifters. Not drinking enough makes you quickly exhausted, reducing alertness and concentration, even when you only do housework.
When the body is replenished with enough water, the urine will be pale yellow or straw yellow. If the color of your urine is darker than normal, you need to drink water as soon as possible.
5. Go to bed early
Lack of sleep increases the risk of accidents and is one of the leading causes of daytime fatigue. You should take advantage of everything and go to bed early enough to have a full night's sleep.
People who regularly get enough sleep will receive many obvious health benefits. They become more active and less tired at work. Research shows that going to bed early helps you live more comfortably and live longer on average.
If possible, take a nap at noon. Napping helps restore alertness, promote work performance, study and prevent burnout. Usually, a 10-minute nap is enough to regain energy. However, napping for more than 30 minutes will easily make it difficult for you to sleep at night.
6. Omega-3 Supplements
Not only good for the cardiovascular system, omega-3 fish oil also helps you to increase alertness. Studies show that getting adequate amounts of omega 3 fatty acids in both children and adults has the effect of prolonging sleep and increasing sleep quality.
7. Take advantage of your biological clock
Some people feel energetic in the morning. In contrast, others feel drained at the beginning of the day and feel their best at the end of the day.
These individual differences in daily energy patterns are determined by brain structure and genetics, so they are virtually unchangeable. Instead, be aware of your own biological clock. Then you schedule them to do high-energy activities at a time when you feel most comfortable. This will limit the risk of burnout while doing important things.
8. Losing weight helps regain energy
Losing body weight can help increase energy. Even a small reduction in body fat can improve mood, health and quality of life.
To achieve safe and effective weight loss, you should cut down on reasonable portions, eat enough necessary nutrients and increase physical activity.
9. Small meals throughout the day help you avoid burnout
Eat several small meals throughout the day to help stabilize your blood sugar and prevent energy loss.
Prioritize whole grains and other complex carbohydrates. These foods take longer to digest than refined carbohydrates, thereby preventing blood sugar fluctuations. However, when starting to use many small meals a day, you need to pay attention to the portion size to avoid unwanted weight gain.
In addition to doing the above, to ensure your own health and avoid burnout from work, you also need to have regular health checkups. The general physical examination will help the doctor detect abnormal signs so that appropriate adjustments can be made.
