Eating well is a crucial part of feeling energised, but if you’re still feeling drained despite a nutrient-rich diet, there might be other factors at play:
🥱 Sleep Quality - You might be getting enough hours, but are they restful? Poor sleep hygiene, stress, or disruptions can leave you exhausted.
☕ Too Much Caffeine - That morning cup can boost energy short-term, but too much caffeine can disrupt sleep and cause crashes.
💧 Hydration - Dehydration, even mild, can zap your energy levels. Are you drinking enough water throughout the day?
🧘 Stress & Lifestyle Factors - Chronic stress takes a toll on energy. Prioritising relaxation and mindfulness can make a big difference.
🩺 Underlying Health Conditions - Conditions like thyroid imbalances, iron deficiency, or autoimmune issues can leave you fatigued, even with great nutrition.
Balance is key! Nutrition is just one piece of the puzzle - consider sleep, stress, hydration, and movement too.
