Feel like you’re not on your A-game?

You’re not the only one. Enhance your energy levels with these simple steps. It’s a no-brainer! Being able to live a more active lifestyle is important for many women – so you’re not alone in feeling sluggish, lacklustre and just a wee bit flat from time to time. If that gives you a sense of comfort, the good news is, it’s easy to get more spring in your step and just in time for summer, too.

Trim your to- do list Does the mere thought of all those commitment­s you’ve got piling up leave you feeling exhausted? If you answered yes, it’s time to start saying “no!”

Streamline your to-do list and get your priorities in check. Anything that doesn’t meet the brief can be left for later, or call on a friend or family member if you need to delegate an important task elsewhere. Be sure to schedule in “me time” and include daily exercise as part of that to give your cells more energy and ensure you sleep soundly at night.

Enhance your natural functions You can boost your cellular energy function by giving it more of the goodness that naturally occurs inside you. You may have heard of CoQ10 – or Coenzyme Q10 as it’s formally known. It’s a nutrient that supports energy function throughout your entire body and is found in your skin, liver, lungs and heart.

CoQ10 acts as an antioxidan­t, protecting cells from damage and playing an important part in the metabolic process. By adding more CoQ10 to your diet, you’re helping your body’s cells to grow and stay healthy. This antioxidan­t can be found in meat, fish and whole grains.
