Now that the holidays have past and tax season is rolling around, along with other life stresses, you might be feeling a little overwhelmed. You may even be feeling a little fatigued just trying to catch up with things. You can help combat fatigue by staying hydrated. Sometimes fatigue is the result of dehydration, so make sure your getting enough water. The body is made up of around 60% water. On average men should drink 13 cups of water daily and women 9 cups. Keep in mind that this may vary depending on your level of perspiration during activities. This is especially true during the Summer when your body perspires more. If water doesn’t seem to help your fatigue, try a high energy snack such as peanut butter on a stalk of celery or apple slice. Peanut butter is a good source of protein and high in monounsaturated fat. Not all peanut butter is the same, so be sure to read the labels and choose a peanut butter that list peanuts or peanuts and less than 1% salt as the ingredients. You can also boost your energy level by going for a short brisk walk. This may boost your energy level by as much as 20%. Lastly, 30 minutes of sunlight doth good to the body. 30 minutes of exposure to sunlight can help shift your bodies circadian rhythm resulting in an energy and mood boost.
