Have you ever wished you could plug yourself in at night while you sleep-at least to give you more energy?!I bet there are moments during your day where you depend on caffeine, energy shots/drinks to get things done. How about implementing afternoon naps to help with your day? Have you ever noticed that its low during the day but you can’t fall asleep at night because your brain is on overload (too much energy)?

Fatigue and chronic low energy are at an all-time high now and it’s safe to say you are like most Americans-HUNGRY FOR MORE ENERGY!

Did you know that low energy is a sign of a digestive issue? When your digestive system (mouth to toilet) is working inefficiently, you absorb less nutrition and accumulate more toxins (each of which sucks the energy out of you).

Personally, I struggled with energy in my earlier years-mostly because I grew up in a “pop-tart, eggo waffle breakfast, white bread peanut butter/ jelly sandwich lunch with a pasta rich dinner” family. By the time I was in college I was gaining weight, and losing energy and felt tired all the time despite working out.

Once I discovered the steps below for myself, I was able to heal my gut and regain my energy. I hope you find this helpful for you and anyone you share this article with.

3 Healing Strategies To Supercharge Your Natural Energy

Water = Life = Energy

If there is one thing we can all do for our energy (and health): DRINK MORE WATER! Water is needed for every chemical reaction in your body and unfortunately your body may be more coffee, soda or tea than water. To meet your bodies minimum requirements, its suggested you drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces. (180lb person would need 90oz of water = 0.7 gallons). That is only what it takes to put back in what you urinate out each day.

Some people haven’t done that in years so you can see why to rehydrate it can take 1-1.5 gallons of water a day for several weeks/months! Hint: one easy way to know if your hydrated for energy-your urine should have a very, very faint yellow tint to it. If it’s the color of Budweiser, you have a lot of work to do.

Sugar = Sluggishness = Fatigue

Regulating your blood sugar isn’t just good advice for diabetics, its great for everyone! Chances are you have not checked your sugars in a long time (or ever). Highly energetic people tend to have normal to slightly low morning sugar readings (70-85). As your blood sugar increases, so does the viscosity(thickness) of your blood which makes it all the more difficult for your body do push oxygen, nutrients and remove wastes from your cells. If your morning sugars are nearing 90 or even 100+, it’s time to take serious action. Stable low/normal blood sugars will help you feel like you can take on the world. The easiest method to reducing your sugars is obviously to reduce your carb intake, and anything your eating that turns into carbs, increase your health fats (coconut oil, grass fed butter, olives, fatty seeds etc) and consider fasting (until you see your morning sugar measurements return in the normal ranges.

Move Your Body & Bowels

Life is defined with movement, and as such movement brings life! You not only want to make sure to move your body with regular exercise, but ensure you move all the muscles of your body. Most people I speak with do not realize that the liver, pancreas, kidney and intestine are also muscles! Sadly, most of us have bowels that are not strong and moving properly. It’s essential to move your bowels to remove toxins, viruses, bacteria, pathogens and food wastes from your body. If you don’t have regular movements the stool that stays in your system becomes a breeding ground for everything you’re trying to eliminate. This is one of the most damaging for your energy, as any additional energy you would have is diverted to your immune system handling the invading pathogens. Note: Normal movements are equal to your frequency of eating meals. i.e.: 2 meals /day = 2 bowel movements per day. So, if you eat break-fast, lunch & dinner you best be going 3x daily (anything less is the reason your energy is tapped out).
