Reduce carbs after 7 |
| Carbohydrates like
pasta, rice and potatoes are one of our main sources of energy. It makes sense
to eat these types of food during the day when we need most of our energy,
rather than in the evening before we go to bed. Try to cut down on
carbohydrates after 7 pm, they take a long time to digest and will only sit in
your stomach. |
Feeling flush |
| Dehydration is a major
cause of fatigue. Eight large glasses of water a day can help cleanse your
system and keep skin looking fresh. But don't gulp it all at once - you won't
give your body a chance to use it and you will find yourself running to the loo
every 5 minutes. Cut down on stimulants such as coffee, tea and alcohol as
these sap your body of moisture. |
Boozing
|
| Alcohol adds toxins to
your body and increases the need for vital B vitamins as well as zinc,
magnesium and calcium. |
Smoking
|
| Smoking greatly
increases the risk of many health problems and saps your body of vital
nutrients. |
Exercise excuses |
Stop saying you're too
tired to exercise - as well as helping your physique, exercise gives you more
energy, improves sleep patterns and maintains good blood circulation and
overall good health.
Try to do enough to get your heartbeat going
faster for at least 20 minutes 3 or 4 times a week. Exercising in the morning
will give you more energy throughout the day. |
Early to bed |
Sleep is great for skin
and it's the best boost to your immune system too.
They say an hour of sleep before midnight is better than 2 afterwards.
