GET MOVING<br />
If you don’t exercise, start. Getting<br />
the blood pumping around the body<br />
will get the oxygen moving. This can<br />
be difficult when we have digestive<br />
issues, but exercise helps digestion,<br />
even if it’s a gentle walk. Our muscles<br />
are packed with mitochondria, which<br />
are the energy powerhouses of our<br />
cells. Building lean muscle will help<br />
with energy production – and will<br />
also keep us younger!<br />

PRACTISE<br />
CALMNESS<br />
Often we are in a state of stress<br />
without being aware of it.<br />
“Adrenalin, one of our stress<br />
hormones, can put us in a state<br />
of constant hyper-stimulation and<br />
can trigger feelings of anxiety and<br />
panic, making it difficult to maintain<br />
a relaxed composure,” Victoria<br />
says. Calming practices such as<br />
meditation, yoga and breathing<br />
exercises calm the stress response,<br />
in turn helping the flow of energy.<br />

SUPPLEMENT<br />
YOUR DIET<br />
Many of us eat on the go and miss key<br />
vitamins and minerals. Supplements,<br />
in particular B-vitamins and minerals<br />
such as zinc, iron and magnesium, help<br />
to replace the missing nutrients and<br />
sources of energy that many of us lack<br />
in our diets. If you are struggling with<br />
low energy on a daily basis, your body<br />
may be giving you a clue that it’s time<br />
to assess your health and lifestyle. CBM<br />
