💥 Always tired? Give energy ➡️ to get energy 💥
How does this work?
In a nutshell the amount of energy you have is a direct result of your diet and the number of mitochondria your body produces. The more active you are, the more mitochondria your body produces.
The more you exercise aerobically, the more mitochondria the body makes to produce more energy to meet your needs. This means that, contrary to popular understanding, the more energy you use, the more your body will have available.
This may seem hard to believe if you’ve experienced fatigue after high intensity training. However, you may have noticed that a couple of hours later your energy levels picked back up and you felt more energised? This is because it takes some time for your body to produce the extra mitochondria it needs. To avoid this post training lull you can start with low-moderate training instead and build up.
The evidence:
A study published in the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics reported that inactive people who normally complained of fatigue could increase energy by 20% and decrease fatigue by as much as 65% by simply participating in regular, low-intensity exercise.
It always starts with the first step! 🚶♀️
