<p>Frequent fatigue is such a common, widespread complaint, many of the estimated one in four Americans who suffer from chronic lethargy simply accept it as an uncomfortable but inevitable consequence of our hectic, 21st century existence.  But in most cases,  a handful of simple lifestyle adjustments could re-inject missing vigor into your day.</p>
<h2>Top 9 Ways to Wake Up!</h2>
<ol>
<li>Get enough sleep.  It seems almost too obvious to mention but, the fact is, most of us don’t!  Experts say the average person needs at least seven hours a night for general wakefulness the next day, and at least eight for optimal alertness, physical performance, and mental clarity.</li>
<li>Eat breakfast.  After lack of sleep, the main cause of morning grog is low blood sugar.  Even if you aren’t terribly hungry in the morning, something as simple as a hard boiled egg and a piece of fruit will supply the glucose and amino acids that your brain and body need to revive.</li>
<li>Stay hydrated.  Although measurable decrements in mental and physical performance will begin to manifest at as little as 1% dehydration, we do not generally “feel thirsty” until we are approximately 2% dehydrated.  Prevent dehydration and the mental decline that accompanies it by keeping a glass or bottle of water on hand to sip throughout the day.</li>
<li>Eat frequent, small meals.  Stabilize your blood sugar and avoid those afternoon energy crashes by eating at least five small meals and snacks throughout the day.</li>
<li>Choose smart snacks.  Although a trip to the candy machine might seem like a good idea at the time, cookies, crackers and chips are perfect examples of the high glycemic load carbohydrates that cause energy crashes as soon as the empty wrapper hits the round file.  Opt for healthier fare by keeping a stash of fresh and dried fruits, nuts and turkey jerky handy for between-meal noshing.</li>
<li>Limit caffeine intake after noon.  When caffeine is consumed late in the day, it can negatively impact the quality of your sleep, leaving you more tired the following day.</li>
<li>Exercise.  As little as 20 to 30 minutes a day of brisk physical activity will improve the quality of your sleep, helping to ensure increased wakefulness the following day.</li>
<li>Express your stress.  Even if you’re doing everything else right, repressed stress and anxiety can be powerful energy sappers and can leave you feeling stiff, achy, and exhausted.  Discussing your anxieties with a trusted friend, spouse, or therapist can have a tremendously positive impact on your ability to cope with troubling issues.</li>
<li>Try CoQ10.  A 2005 study found that supplementing with CoQ10 helped combat unexplained, chronic fatigue in 69% of study participants.  (<em>Source:  Bentler SE, Hartz AJ, Kuhn EM.  Prospective observational study of</em> <em>treatments for unexplained chronic fatigue.   J Clin Psychiatry. 2005 May;66(5):625-32.) </em>Watch Healthy TV to learn more:<a href="http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid62043818001?bclid=61894765001&amp;bctid=62043139001">http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid62043818001?bclid=61894765001&amp;bctid=62043139001</a></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Frequent fatigue is such a common, widespread complaint, many of the estimated one in four Americans who suffer from chronic lethargy simply accept it as an uncomfortable but inevitable consequence of our hectic, 21st century existence.  But in most cases,  a handful of simple lifestyle adjustments could re-inject missing vigor into your day.</p>
<h2>Top 9 Ways to Wake Up!</h2>
<ol>
<li>Get enough sleep.  It seems almost too obvious to mention but, the fact is, most of us don’t!  Experts say the average person needs at least seven hours a night for general wakefulness the next day, and at least eight for optimal alertness, physical performance, and mental clarity.</li>
<li>Eat breakfast.  After lack of sleep, the main cause of morning grog is low blood sugar.  Even if you aren’t terribly hungry in the morning, something as simple as a hard boiled egg and a piece of fruit will supply the glucose and amino acids that your brain and body need to revive.</li>
<li>Stay hydrated.  Although measurable decrements in mental and physical performance will begin to manifest at as little as 1% dehydration, we do not generally “feel thirsty” until we are approximately 2% dehydrated.  Prevent dehydration and the mental decline that accompanies it by keeping a glass or bottle of water on hand to sip throughout the day.</li>
<li>Eat frequent, small meals.  Stabilize your blood sugar and avoid those afternoon energy crashes by eating at least five small meals and snacks throughout the day.</li>
<li>Choose smart snacks.  Although a trip to the candy machine might seem like a good idea at the time, cookies, crackers and chips are perfect examples of the high glycemic load carbohydrates that cause energy crashes as soon as the empty wrapper hits the round file.  Opt for healthier fare by keeping a stash of fresh and dried fruits, nuts and turkey jerky handy for between-meal noshing.</li>
<li>Limit caffeine intake after noon.  When caffeine is consumed late in the day, it can negatively impact the quality of your sleep, leaving you more tired the following day.</li>
<li>Exercise.  As little as 20 to 30 minutes a day of brisk physical activity will improve the quality of your sleep, helping to ensure increased wakefulness the following day.</li>
<li>Express your stress.  Even if you’re doing everything else right, repressed stress and anxiety can be powerful energy sappers and can leave you feeling stiff, achy, and exhausted.  Discussing your anxieties with a trusted friend, spouse, or therapist can have a tremendously positive impact on your ability to cope with troubling issues.</li>
<li>Try CoQ10.  A 2005 study found that supplementing with CoQ10 helped combat unexplained, chronic fatigue in 69% of study participants.  (<em>Source:  Bentler SE, Hartz AJ, Kuhn EM.  Prospective observational study of</em> <em>treatments for unexplained chronic fatigue.   J Clin Psychiatry. 2005 May;66(5):625-32.) </em>Watch Healthy TV to learn more:<a href="http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid62043818001?bclid=61894765001&amp;bctid=62043139001">http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid62043818001?bclid=61894765001&amp;bctid=62043139001</a></li>
