Lucy replied: "Choose lean protein. Your body relies on protein in order to function, so without it you feel sluggish. This doesn’t mean you should run out and have a cheeseburger. High fat proteins can also weigh you down and zap your energy. Instead, eat lean proteins, such as chicken breasts and pork loin. Add more vitamin C to your diet. A deficiency of vitamin C can cause fatigue. Instead of starting your morning with a cup of coffee, get more energy naturally. Make a smoothie with fruits high in vitamin C or have a simple glass of orange juice. Not only will you get more energy, but you’ll start your day off in a healthy way. Take B12 supplements. Vitamin B12 doesn’t give you energy directly. Instead, it helps create reactions in your body that give you energy. Depending on your diet, you may not be getting enough B12 and might need to take supplements. This is especially true for vegetarians and vegans. A deficiency in B12 can leave you with little energy. Exercise daily. Exercise is a wonderful way to get more energy naturally. Exercise gets your blood pumping and can get you ready for the day. Each morning, do a cardio workout. It doesn’t have to take long; 15 minutes is enough. The more exercise you do, the better shape your body will be in. When your body’s in good shape, you have more energy. Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep each night. Many people fail to get a proper night’s sleep. This step alone can give you more energy naturally. Take time to set up a schedule and stick to it. There’s always tomorrow to finish up projects. Don’t put your health at risk by sleeping fewer hours."
