I've suffered from low energy levels for as long as I can remember. It sucks because it makes it hard to do everything I want to do. I usually end up doing just the bare minimum -- cooking, dishes, laundry. I rarely get to actually cleaning stuff. Now it's becoming increasingly clear that whatever issue I am dealing with, both of my daughters have the same problem, too. I don't want this for them. So once again I am trying to find something that helps.
Everything I've read says basically the same thing -- get enough sleep, eat a balanced diet, get moderate exercise -- then it adds a plug for whatever supplement, etc it's trying to sell. The thing that limits how much sense this makes to me is that I know a lot of people that don't eat right or exercise that seem quite perky.
So anyway, what I'm trying at the moment is to drink more water, get a half hour of exercise in the sun (vitamin D), eat more veggies and fruits, and go to bed earlier. One thing I read said two liters of water a day is a good goal, so I rinsed out an empty soda bottle, filled it with water, and put it in the fridge. If I make sure it is full before I go to bed at night, it will be cold and I should have a pretty good gauge of how much I'm drinking throughout the day.
We'll see how it goes.
