Quick tips to boost your energy

Feeling drained or like you’re running on empty? Instead of downing another iced latte or long black, read on for our solid tips for sustaining your energy levels all day long without a dreaded 3pm crash. 

Balance your blood sugar

If you rely on sweet treats or crunchy snacks peppered throughout the day to top up your energy levels, it’s no wonder you feel exhausted by mid afternoon. These types of foods may provide immediate relief from hunger but they don’t help you to feel full and the hit of energy they offer is short lived.

Try swapping out high-GI foods and sugary morsels that only give you a short burst of energy then leave you feeling tired again for lower-GI options like whole grains, healthy fats and lashings of leafy greens. Brown carbs like quinoa and sweet potatoes will cheer you on throughout the day, helping to maintain your energy levels. 

Get your protein fix

Protein isn’t just for gym bros! Your body needs protein to keep you feeling full and fueled. A vegan protein powder like The Super Elixir Nourishing Protein by WelleCo is a quick and easy way to up your protein intake to support sustained energy without stressing over how much meat or leafy greens you’ve eaten. Made with gluten free ingredients and infused with probiotics, vitamins and minerals, WelleCo’s Nourishing Protein supports your body around the clock.

Meet your body’s protein needs on the go with a HyperLuxe the Label Protein Shaker Bottle. This 600ml design is a durable addition to your water bottle rotation, perfect to take to the gym.

Hydration sensation

Would you prefer to feel like a grape or a raisin? If you’re running on two sips of water and a blueberry matcha, consider yourself a raisin - dried out and depleted. Become the juicy grape you dream of being by aiming to drink a minimum of two litres of water daily. Ample hydration will keep your skin glowing, your mind sharp and your energy levels up.

If you struggle with staying on top of your hydration needs, invest in a water bottle to ensure you always have H20 within reach. Find the perfect drink bottle for your needs at HyperLuxe.

Supercharge your day with The Super Elixir

A health hack in a glass, The Super Elixir by WelleCo is an easy way to flood your body with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to improve your energy reserves. Formulated with over 40 ingredients including kelp, linseed, alfalfa and glutamine, this keto-friendly formulation can be mixed with water or into a smoothie. WelleCo recommends enjoying The Super Elixir first thing in the morning and again mid-afternoon when your energy reserves are most likely to be tapped out and your body is craving a pick me up.

Don’t sleep on sleep!

If you’re constantly tired and find your energy levels lagging by lunch time, chances are you’re not getting enough sleep. It’s common knowledge that we need around eight hours of sleep per night but drifting off after a busy day can be easier said than done. Having a good pre-bed routine is key to helping your mind to unwind, and our favourite evening ritual includes a cup of Sleep Welle Fortified Calming Tea. A curated blend of herbs including Skullcap, Valerian Root, Hops and Lemon Balm, the Fortified Calming Tea is formulated to help you fall asleep faster and enjoy a better quality of sleep, so that you wake up refreshed and with a spring in your step. 

Guard your gut

Your gut is your body’s energy HQ: it breaks down food, absorbs nutrients and has a significant impact on how well your body converts fuel into energy. When your gut is happy and balanced, you’re more likely to enjoy a steady flow of energy throughout the day. But when it’s out of whack, your energy levels can take a serious hit.

If you’re bloated, have sugar cravings and/or struggle with digestive issues, you might need a prebiotic and/or probiotic to restore balance to your digestive system. The Super Elixir Alkalizing Greens Powder by WelleCo has both; making it an easy way to give your gut the love it deserves to support your energy levels around the clock.

Take these tips on board to enjoy a more energetic lifestyle that allows you to get the most out of every day.
