We received this information from our pharmacy. The paper on which it came lists the source as Catalina Health Resource:- Get moving. Just about anyone, at any age, can do some type of activity to improve his or her health or well being. Take a short walk around the block or through a mall after dinner. The more exercise you get the more energized you become. Always check with your doctor before beginning any exercise routine.
- Eat healthier by eating a variety of foods. Make sure you get enough of the right types of foods each day. The National Institutes of Health recommend five or more servings of vitamin-packed fruits and vegetables every day for better health. Limit most foods with caffeine since they provide an artificial boost but little nutrition.
- Go outside for a few minutes in the sunshine. This will not only feel good, but the vitamin D in the sunlight will actually help your body process calcium, an essential nutrient for strong bones.
- Get a good night's sleep. For more energy try going to bed a half-hour before you normally do at least one night a week.
Finally, do something that makes you happy at least once a week. Read a book; have coffee with a friend; listen to music -- anything that you enjoy and that you look forward to doing. You might find that making time for yourself is the best "energizer" of all.
