We all have rough days that end with us feeling exhausted and dragging. It happens to all of us. We collapse in the living room and zone out in front of the television until we fall asleep. If it's been a rough day, it stands to reason that we would be exhausted.

However, if you consistently feel low energy, there are steps you can take to boost your energy levels.

If you have visited your physician and he has found no medical reason for your low energy. How about trying some of the tips I have provided below?

Ten proven tips to improve your energy

1. Start your day off with a healthy breakfast-It's true that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Oatmeal, eggs, and Greek yogurt are examples of foods that will give you that all-important energy boost to start your day.

2. Get up and move-If you are tired and sluggish, get up and take a walk. Do something, move around. Do the dishes, or vacuum the floor. Just move. I know from experience that you need to get up and move if you're feeling tired and lazy. If you continue to sit, you will likely feel tired and sluggish.

3. Reduce stress. Prolonged stress can lead to chronic fatigue. Stress can also disrupt your sleep, which, in turn, causes low energy. I don't want to sound repetitive, but many of the same steps to lower your stress also improve your energy levels. Exercise and healthy eating appear to address many of our concerns.

4. Supplements-If you are not getting enough of the vitamins and minerals that build energy in your diet. You may want to add some B12 and Iron to your diet.

5. Hydrate-Being dehydrated can be the cause of some of your fatigue. It can also impact your mood. Health experts recommend that we drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. So drink up.

6. Regular exercise-Yes, it's actual regular daily exercise that gives you more energy. Schedule a walk into your daily routine. Stay consistent with your walking. It won't be long before you notice the difference. And then maybe try some new form of exercise. You don't want to get bored.

7. Reducing sugar-added sugars impacts our energy, mood, weight, and heart disease risk. So start easing off the sugar.

8. Quit smoking: Yes, smoking affects your energy. The ingredient nicotine reaches your brain in mere seconds, and you will feel more energized for a while. But that effect will wear off, and you will be left feeling tired. And you will soon have the urge to smoke another cigarette. And then feel tired again. And, of course, heart disease and lung cancer are a couple more reasons to kick the habit.

9. Getting enough sleep-A consistent sleeping schedule is essential. Perhaps try going to bed early and rising early.

10. A healthy diet starts with a nutritious breakfast, but you must fuel your body all day with the right foods. Some suggested energy foods include eggs, yogurt, bananas, avocado, chicken, nuts, berries, and even dark chocolate.

Essentially, for your health and energy, you need to move, eat healthily, get enough sleep, quit bad habits like smoking, and eliminate most sugary junk food. Try it. You will feel better and have way more energy.
