Natural Ways to Increase Your Energy
If there is any one thing that most adults want more of, besides money, it is bound to be energy. Balancing work and home life is certainly a challenge. Sure you can drink strong coffee or caffeinated sodas, but you should be prepared for a crash afterward, stained teeth, and possibly a case of the jitters. It is for these reasons that more and more people are looking to alternative natural solutions to increase their energy levels. 
A no-brainer in maintaining energy levels is a good night’s sleep. But often, eight hours of sleep is just not in the cards—or just not enough. When you find yourself dragging more often than not, Advanta Supplements has an affordable weapon called Green Tea Extract. These quality capsules use the same formulation recommended by Tim Ferris in his bestselling book, The 4 Hour Body. It is in this book that he calls green tea a powerful antioxidant and energy booster.
Green tea comes from the camellia sinensis plant. It can be consumed as a beverage, or as an “extract” created from the leaves in order to use as medicine. The stem, leaf, and bud are all useful parts of the camellia sinensis plant. Green tea is not fermented. Instead, steaming the fresh leaves at very high temperatures produces it. During the steaming process, the tea maintains its integrity, preserving the vital molecules called polyphenols, which are responsible for the tea’s health benefits. One of these health benefits is that it can naturally and effectively boost energy. And although it does have caffeine, it has less than a quarter of what most major coffee brands contain.
Taking green tea extract as a supplement can also increase the effectiveness of other natural energy boosters. One of these energy boosters is nuts. If you are hungry, it may help to snack on a handful of almonds or walnuts. You should feel more “full” afterward, than if you were to have a handful of the things we crave when we’re tired, such as salty chips or candy. Plus, research has shown that we may not fully digest all of the calories in a serving of nuts. So if you are intimidated by the fat content, don’t be. Remember that nuts contain only good, healthy fats that our bodies need.
Although it may be the last thing on your mind when you feel tired, exercising is another great way to feel more energized. A short power walk or a few yoga moves can refresh you and wake up those sleepy muscles. And if you are pressed for time, try this simple trick. Locate the “Leg Three Miles” point, four finger widths below your kneecap, and one finger width outward towards your shin. Press on this spot for one minute, and repeat on the opposite leg. According to acupressure experts, pressing on these nerve points will send energizing signals throughout your entire body, giving you that little energizing boost when you need it.
Try these tips, and enjoy your newfound energy!
