Struggling to wake up even when you’re already at the office?
There are many reasons why you can feel tired, even when you haven’t been all that active or stressed. But first, you need to understand where energy comes from in order to gain it, here are 3 sources:- Food: Your body needs glucose, from carbohydrates , but it can also use fatty acids from fats and amino acids from proteins. It is very important that you put yourself first – so even when you don’t have time to cook, try cooking meals and keep them in containers to take with you to work or find good quality places to buy ready made healthy meals.
- Exercise is a must, as it releases stress and helps fight depression and boosts energy levels. When you exercise often, you will get better sleep at night too, which will also help fight fatigue.
