How to replenish dwindling energy levels:

  • Diet
    • Fatty acids and protein from lean meats (such as chicken and turkey), fatty fish (such as salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel) and nuts will boost your ATP levels. ATP is a molecule which stores and delivers energy to cells.
    • Eat small meals and snacks every few hours. Large meals cause insulin levels to spike, which then drops blood sugar levels rapidly, leading to feelings of fatigue.
  • Several small meals and snacks enhances brain function with a steady supply of nutrients.
  • Fluids
    • Feelings of fatigue is one of the first signs that your body is short on fluids.
    • Fluids not only come from water and beverages, but also from liquid-rich fruits and vegetables, for example cucumbers, squash, strawberries, citrus fruit and melons.
    • The recommended daily intake of fluids is 3,7 liters for men and 2,7 liters for women.
  • Exercise –Exercise can boost energy levels in the body by raising energy-promoting neurotransmitters in the brain (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine).
  • Sleep –ATP levels surge during the first few hours of sleep. Healthy sleep helps to increase ATP levels.
