Feeling tired all the time?  Can’t seem to get yourself going in the morning and desperate to flop into bed at night?  Follow these few simple tweaks to your daily eating habits and double your energy levels in just five days!

Drink at least two litres of water every day
Strong tea, coffee and alcohol will not only impair your body’s ability to sleep and absorb essential energy producing vitamins and minerals but they may leave you dehydrated too.  Dehydration results in reduced blood volume which ultimately means your ability to transport all the essential ingredients for energy such as blood sugars (glucose), iron, and oxygen around your body is greatly reduced leaving you feeling tired, heavy and apathetic. 

Graze don’t gorge
A skimpy breakfast, a hurried lunch, and a huge evening feast is about the least energy-efficient eating schedule imaginable.  Instead, eat a good sized breakfast, a moderate lunch and supper and add in a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack such as a piece of fruit or a handful of mixed nuts and seeds.   Eating little and often is a great way to prevent tiredness as it provides your body with energy as and when it needs it throughout the day.
