What Things Give You Energy?

Upbeat rock n roll from the 60s forward, including recent stuff.

Hubby is more of a self-starter than I am so I follow his lead. When he starts puttering, I get off my duff and move toward doing something constructive.

If all else fails, I invite people over - even if it's just my kids. It's a great motivator to clear some accumulated clutter from the flat spaces that draw it like bees to honey. Mostly it's mail that needs shredding. (I'm getting to hate mail.)

I was thinking it would be nice to have someone over to chit chat with, too. Makes me feel good, too.

I drink a lot of water, a few cups of coffee, and vitamin C supplements every day. I also see a chiropractor on a regular basis. All of these together give me a lot of stamina.

Sunshine---and traveling on vacation, except at night.

Sunshine, gardening, cleaning the pool and red red wine.

Company coming to stay over. Gotta get my juices flowing to do what I might have been putting off cleaning up the house...lol.

Coffee in our sunroom with my wife and the pets. All that natural light, great coffee, and my lovely wife does it for me.

So, I'm wondering what specifically gives you energy? Is it a view on life, a pill, a supplement, or are you just naturally energetic?

I'm drinking a strong cup of coffee right now to try and get some energy and it's working some. My doctor has prescribed a multivitamin, B12 and D2 for me to help my energy level. I feel somewhat more energetic but not where I want to be yet.

all of those prescriptions sound sensible. I hope they help. For me, watching my iron levels as I tend to be anemic since I don't absorb minerals well. Mostly a decent night's sleep makes a great deal of difference.

I've never been high energy or hyper, but I do take supplements and that may help. A glass of filtered water with a tablespoon full of pure lemon juice (no sugar) in the morning seems to give me energy, it helps detoxify the body and cleanse the organs.

A spoonful of raw unfiltered honey is also a good way to get a boost. There's a Royal Jelly product that we used in the past when we were working and needed energy, but it was very expensive so I stopped buying it.

Getting outside in the park with my dog even in bad weather is energizing to a degree. Doing a food fast for two or three days also helps clean the system and give it a break, I don't do it often, but when I do I always feel better and have more energy afterwards. A 3 day fast always helps me drop five pounds too, a boost for the mood.

Cool stuff. Thanks. I'm having ice water with fresh lemon in it now. I agree, it helps.

A good night's sleep is a great thing. I have bee eating fresh spinach in salads and find that helpful for low platelets. Thanks.
