7. Colon and Parasite Cleanse If you are over the age of thirty and have never done a colon cleanse you are in for a tremendous natural energy boost. If you do your cleanse and eat a healthy diet with mostly fruits and vegetables and very little red meat or no meat at all you will feel lighter. You will focus easier. Your memory will improve and your energy will go up. You will just feel better over all. You have probably heard the saying that death begins in the colon. Well, good health and more energy also begin in the colon!
8. 24 Hour Fast The body spends up to one third of your energy on digestion and elimination. By avoiding solid food and only taking in liquids like water and fresh organic juices you give the body a break. It can now use some of its stored energy to fight disease and eliminate toxins in the body. By eliminating toxins the body is dumping them into the digestive tract to be eliminated. If the digestive tract (colon) is not clean and working well the toxins will just get reabsorbed into the bloodstream making you fell sick. If your colon is clean and you properly eliminate those toxins you get a general feeling of wellness, more energy and more mental clarity. Fasting, even just one day per month will help eliminate salt and sugar cravings. After a fast you are usually hungry for food that has high nutrient content, like green vegetables. Dr. Paul Bragg states: "... fasting is not a cure of any disease or ailment. The purpose of the fast is to allow the body full range and scope to fulfill its self-healing, self-repairing, self-rejuvenating functions to the best advantage. ...Fasting is probably the fastest and safest way or means of regaining health ever conceived by the human man. ... Fasting puts the body in a condition where all the Vital Force of the body is used to flush out the causes of body miseries."
9. Take a Multivitamin Modern farming practices have significantly reduced the amount of vitamins and minerals that are present in our food. By over-farming and relying upon unnatural processes to keep up with food demand, we have created foods that have been robbed of much of their nutritional value. Nowadays it's nearly impossible to get all of the vitamins and nutrients the body needs through food alone. Fifty years ago this was not the case. I recommend any of the following multi-vitamins: Garden of Life Living Multi, Life Extension Mix Capsules, and AOR Orthocore. If you're looking for a more cost effective option, Nature's Way Alive is a decent place to start.
10. Sleep Sleep is the most natural remedy for increasing natural energy levels. Experts recommend at least 8 hours of sleep per night. If your schedule does not allow for 8 hours of sleep each night, experiment by going to bed 15-30 minutes earlier than normal or taking a quick nap. Also, try to avoid caffeine after 2pm as it can interfere with your quality of sleep. Just because you are physically able to fall asleep after drinking caffeine does not mean it isn't impacting your quality of rest and recovery. Allow your body to get the most out of your 5-8 hours by avoiding caffeine after 2pm. Increasing the amount of sleep you get by as little as 20minutes can be one of the simplest natural energy boosters to incorporate into your life.
