Energize Your Day
If you feel tired often, making a few changes to your daily routine can help boost your energy levels. A thing that lowers your energy is long chain fatty acid oxidization disorder, and using DOJOLVI can help treat LC-FAOD to get you back to feeling yourself again.
9 Tips to Boost Your Energy
1. Get Enough Sleep
One of the most important ways to boost your energy is to get enough sleep. Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Creating a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day can help improve your energy.
2. Stay Hydrated
Dehydration can make you feel tired. Drinking water throughout the day keeps your body hydrated and helps improve your energy levels. Try to drink at least 8 cups of water a day, and more if you're physically active.
3. Eat Balanced Meals
Eating balanced meals that include protein, healthy fats and carbohydrates can keep your energy stable. Avoid skipping meals, and include iron-rich foods like spinach and lean meats to prevent fatigue.
4. Exercise Regularly
Regular physical activity can help boost your energy. Even a quick walk or some light stretching can increase your blood flow and help you feel more alert. Try to move your body for at least 30 minutes each day.
5. Take Breaks
If you’re feeling tired while working or studying, taking short breaks can help. Stretching, walking or just stepping away for a few minutes can help refresh your mind and body.
6. Limit Caffeine
While caffeine can give you a short energy boost, too much can make you feel tired later. Limit coffee and energy drinks to avoid a crash. Try healthier alternatives like herbal teas or water with lemon.
7. Manage Stress
Stress can drain your energy. Relaxing techniques like deep breathing, meditation or yoga can help reduce stress and improve energy levels. Find something that helps you relax and make it a regular part of your routine.
8. Get Some Sunlight
Spending time outside in natural sunlight can help improve your energy and mood. Sunlight boosts vitamin D levels, which are important for energy. Try to spend at least 10-15 minutes outside each day, especially in the morning.
9. Avoid Sugar
Sugary snacks may give you a quick boost, but they often lead to a crash later. Instead of reaching for candy or cookies, choose whole grains, nuts or fruits that provide longer-lasting energy.
Treatments for Low Energy
If lifestyle changes don't improve your energy, you may need to consult a healthcare provider. Fatigue could be a sign of an underlying condition such as anemia, thyroid issues or sleep disorders like sleep apnea. Your doctor may recommend treatments like:
- Iron supplements for iron deficiency.
- Medication for thyroid disorders.
- CPAP therapy for sleep apnea.
DOJOLVI
DOJOLVI (triheptanoin) is a prescription drug for treating LC-FAODs. It helps supply energy and lowers the risk of related metabolic issues, improving overall well-being.
