Staying Energized

A friend of mine has been trying to cut back on animal products for about one month. She mentioned that she has felt less energetic since doing so. She exercises lightly – walks around the neighborhood – and doesn’t drink caffeine. Sleeps a lot at night, too.

What do you do when your energy level is low?

Aerobic exercise, even if it’s just for 10 minutes, really helps to wake me up and keep me going. So, it’s a shame that exercise isn’t boosting your friend’s energy levels. Splashing cold water on my face and arms also works. Maybe it would help your friend as well. Then again, it sounds like your friend might have low iron levels if she’s routinely fatigued. I take a daily multivitamin, which seems to keep me in check. Perhaps your friend should get checked out by a doctor.

I’m also wondering if something is up health-wise with the friend. If she is a picky eater, perhaps she is saying no to certain plant proteins that could give a proper boost. Hope she’s better.
