1. Stay hydrated. Not drinking enough water can cause fatigue, reduced concentration, and health problems such as weight gain and kidney stones. If you’re feeling thirsty, it means your body is already dehydrated. An average adult needs 9-13 cups of water a day. When exercising, you need about a cup of water every 15-20 minutes. Remember that caffeinated beverages cause you to urinate more than usual (resulting in dehydration); for every cup of caffeine that you drink, match it with an extra cup of water. 2. Exercise. Studies have shown that moderate amounts of exercise can increase energy, even as little as 15-20 minutes of brisk walking. A few sources of low-impact exercise include walking, biking, swimming, and yoga. 3. Increase fiber intake. Fiber is indigestible material that slows the digestion process, making you feel full longer and reducing the rate of insulin released into the blood stream. Adults should consume 35-40 grams of fiber per day. Some fiber-rich foods include whole fruits and vegetables, beans, flax seeds, and whole grains. 4. Eat iron-rich foods.
