Keeping Up Energy Levels in Busy Lifestyle

My lifestyle is usually very busy, I try and juggle several things at the same time. I wouldn’t have it any different, as I enjoy being busy and involved in different activities.

In order to make sure I make the most of my day, I need high energy levels at all times, from the moment I get out of bed in the morning until I go to sleep at night.

I have some simple tips to keep up my energy levels:

Breakfast:

I always have breakfast, it is usually a bowl of cereal with tea during the week, and pancakes or cooked breakfast on weekend. After being asleep for several hours, I wake up hungry and looking for a nutritional meal to boost my energy.

You can add pieces of fruit to your cereal, and even to pancakes. I particularly like my Summery Blueberry and Pancake recipe, it is very tasty with no added sugar, just berry goodness.

Balanced Diet:

Apart from breakfast, I also enjoy a balanced diet, with lots of fruit and vegetables. There is nothing wrong with treats every now and then, I particularly like ice cream and pizza, but I try and eat as many vegetables as I can.

Adding vegetables to a meal are ideal, such as a Sweet Chilli Chicken Paella Recipe I made recently. It had lots of pepper, onions and spinach.

You can add a portion of salad to your lunch, side vegetables to your dinner, dried or fresh fruit to your breakfast. As a snack in between meals, you can enjoy fresh fruit, or vegetable sticks. By having lots of fruit and vegetables in my diet, I feel I have more energy.

Iron Supplements:

My iron levels are usually low, which can cause fatigue and tireness. I actually had my iron levels tested recently at Britmums Live, and they are still quite low. I was recently introduced to Spatone, a natural iron supplement to help maintain healthy iron levels.

Spatone Apple iron supplement is iron rich water sourced from the Welsh mountains of Snowdonia National Park, combined with natural apple concentrate and vitamin C, which helps the absorption of iron.

I love the fact it is packed in individual sachets, so it is convenient and perfect to drink on the go. It is also very tasty and easily absorbed. It is a gentle way to top up iron levels, so it doesn’t cause as many side effects as other iron supplements.

How do you keep your energy levels high throughout the day?
