So many of us rely on our morning cup of coffee to boost our energy and mood, without it we feel sluggish, tired, and easily annoyed. But what if I told you that there might be another way that you can increase your energy levels without the added caffeine boost. Check out our list of 5 energy boosters that might just make you want to ditch your morning cup of joe.

Exercise Regularly 

Exercise is the ultimate energy booster. When you exercise you are releasing endorphins and you get your blood flowing, which in return boosts your energy. So next time you’re feeling sluggish and want to skip your workout, you might want to still hit the gym to get your energy up.

Drink Water 

Dehydration plays a big part in how you feel. You may think that you’re drinking enough water, but you would be surprised to see that you may not. Add a couple of more glasses of water in your day and see how much better you might feel. If you need help staying on track with your water intake checkout our blog post on how to increase your water intake.

Eat Nutritious Food 

Eating small snacks and meals throughout the day is a great way to boost your energy, since it gives your brain the added nutrients it needs to function well throughout the day. Make sure to eat snacks that are nutrient dense instead of empty calories. Fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, and proteins are great snacks to help boost your energy.

 Don’t Overwork Yourself

This may seem like a no brainer but working too much can put a lot of stress on your body and mind. In our culture it seems that the more you work the better of a person you are, without even looking at the toll it puts on our bodies. It’s okay to take a break every once in a while, to recharge. It’s also fine to ask for help when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Nobody should work themselves to exhaustion.

Take Vitamins 

If you’re already eating a balanced and nutritious diet, you are probably already getting a lot of your vitamins from your food, but for those of us who need a little extra boost, vitamins might just do the trick. B vitamins are the perfect energy boosters since they turn the food you eat into energy. Taking vitamin B regularly can also help prevent anemia which is often the cause of feeling tired.
