Boost your energy level 提升你的能量水平2

Watch your sugar

Some sweet foods will cause your blood sugar to rise sharply, giving you a quick burst of energy. However, your blood sugar levels will quickly plunge, leaving you feeling even more wiped out than before. For balanced blood sugar and energy levels, eat whole grain foods, which release fuel slowly and steadily throughout the day.

Exercise

Won’t you feel more tired if you exercise? No! Studies conducted at California State University found that an energetic 10-minute walk increased people’s energy levels. And the energy increase lasted up to two hours. After three weeks of daily 10-minute walks, their energy levels in general were higher.

Laugh

Studies show that laughter causes your brain to release endorphins, which make you feel good and full of energy. The next time you feel like you’ve lost your get-up-and-go, try laughing. Take some time each day to read jokes, watch a funny program or laugh with your friends. Along with an increase in energy you may find a new enthusiasm for life!
