Energy Levels and Fatigue
Energy from calories and the required vitamins, nutrients, and minerals bodies need make the body function and keeps us alive.
Maintain a regular sleep routine and allow the body to rest for a minimum of 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night to recover energy and improve body health.
Stress may drain energy, manage stress by removing harmful variables from everyday life, spending time in nature, gardening outside, sunbathing, practicing yoga, and meditating to relax. Direct exposure to sunlight improves moods and is naturally invigorating, naturally increasing the body’s levels of vitamin D.
Exercise
Moving the body and stretching ligaments is necessary for healthy bodies to function.
Stretching prior to physical activity improves circulation and reduces muscle stiffness, allowing for easier movement and fewer aches during exercise or laborious work. Regular physical activity reduces bloating, improves digestion, circulation, and endurance, increases energy levels, builds strength, and maintains body function. Go on walks for 30 minutes each day, exercise for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity every week, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity.
Improve blood flow, strengthen bones and muscles, support heart health, and slow bone loss (could start as early as 30 years old) by wearing a backpack with opened rations.
Every day I carry my 15 lb. to 30 lb. backpack for 1 to 12 hours each day for weight bearing exercises to strengthen the bones in my legs, hips, and back. I also do the following one after another each day 2 or 3 times. I don’t count how many, I do them until I am done and then proceed to the next exercise:
Pushups
Sittups
Leg Cycling
Gardening is a great workout by lifting potted plants, clearing foliage debris, etc. Walking and doing arm pumps keeps the legs and arms strong. Careers that require regular lifting keep the body strong.
