Here are five ways to enjoy the silly season without exhausting your energy levels!
1. Get some sleep
You can’t enjoy the holiday season or get everything done if you’re not well rested. A good night’s sleep can help slow down the ageing process, replenish your energy levels, and help you deal better with stressful situations.[i] Go the bed at the same time every night, turn your phone off, and try meditation to help your mind and body wind down.
2. Take Ubiquinol
Studies show that Ubiquinol may help to power your energy production and protect the body against oxidative stress and inflammation. Ubiquinol is the active form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an antioxidant vital for the functioning of mitochondria which supports energy production in our bodies.[ii] A daily supplement is the best way to keep your energy levels at their optimum level.
3.Eat well
Take a look at your plate of food – it should contain as many different colours as possible to provide your body with the antioxidants it needs to help fight disease and improve your energy levels.[iii]
4. Prioritise fitness
Aim for at least 30 minutes of gentle exercise every day.[iv] Even a brief walk along the beach or park can help reduce your stress levels, increase energy levels and improve heart health.[v]
5. Be a little silly
It’s the season to be merry, so forget about work and shopping lists and enjoy time with your family and friends. Remember, laughter really is one of the best medicines.[vi]
