How to boost your energy levels!

Has Autumn made you lack in energy with it's grey afternoon's, cold rain and the clocks going back, so the night draws in at 4.30pm?

Tiredness sets in and all you want to do is eat warm food and snuggle up on the sofa.

What can we do to help ourselves - Top 5 suggestions:

🔋 Stay hydrated - Dehydration can lead to fatigue, so drink plenty of water throughout the day. This can feel like an impossible task, we get so busy we forget to drink and then suddenly we realise we have had hardly anything to drink that day and it's nearly bed time. Try to sip water all day rather than guzzling down water late at night.

🔋 Get enough sleep - Aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night and try to stick to a consistent sleep schedule.
It's easier said than done sometimes, with too much to do after and not enough hours in the day. Set an alarm on your watch or phone to prompt you one hour before a realistic bed time to get ready for bed. Switch of your phone, have a warm bath or shower, put some relaxing music on and brush your teeth.

🔋 Exercise regularly to stay physical activity as this can paradoxically boost energy levels and improve sleep quality.
Even if you can only fit in a 30 minute walk a day or getting off the bus a few stops earlier or cycling to work rather than using the car.

🔋 Eat small, frequent snacks every few hours, rather than 3 medium/large sized meals. As this can help maintain stable energy levels.
Eat foods high in protein like; boiled eggs, Hummus and veggie sticks or Nut butter with fruit: Spread peanut butter or almond butter on apple slices or celery sticks.

🔋 Cutting down on caffeine to get you through the day. Caffeine increases energy levels for a short period of time by blocking adenosine, a neurotransmitter that makes you feel tired, and by stimulating the central nervous system. This results in increased alertness, focus, and physical energy.
Using caffeine as an energy boost can interfere with your natural sleep-wake cycle, especially if consumed too late in the day.

Massage Myths

Myth: You must feel sore after a massage to show it was good.

Fact: Soreness is not a reliable indicator of a good massage. Some soreness may occur after your first massage, or if you'rs muscles are very tight, but it is also completely normal to feel no pain afterward but get the muscle tension relief required.

Myth: A massage is a massage.

Fact: There are many different types of massage therapy, including Sports, Deep Tissue, Aromatherapy, and Swedish, each is designed for different purposes. It's important to find the type that best suits your needs.

Having a facial in autumn helps to address sun damage and hydrate the skin with the weather stating to cool down.

A facial is a multi-step skin treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and moisturises the face to improve skin health and appearance. It can help with specific concerns like clogged pores, dehydration, fine lines, and puffiness, while also promoting relaxation.

Deep cleansing and exfoliation: Professional facials go deeper than at-home routines to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells that clog pores, leading to a clearer complexion and smoother texture.

Improved circulation: Facial massages boost blood flow, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the skin's surface, which can lead to a healthy glow and a more youthful appearance.

Increased hydration: Facials use specialised products to deliver moisture deep into the skin, helping to plump the skin, soften it, and improve its elasticity.

Reduced signs of aging: The combination of cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating can help smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

Clearer skin: By deep cleaning and extracting impurities, facials can significantly help reduce acne, blackheads, and breakouts.

Even skin tone: Professional treatments can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Massage Myths

Myth: Massage must be painful to be effective.

The "no pain, no gain" idea does not apply to massage. A good massage is about helping the body relax and release tension, which is counteracted by pain. While some discomfort is normal, especially when working on a tight area of fibrous tissue, true pain is the body's signal to stop, and forcing through it can lead to more tension and even injury.

Pain doesn't equal progress. Some people can't relax into intense pressure, and when intense pressure causes physical pain and tension in the fibres ... is it really worth it?

Myth: Massage breaks up knots!

Massage doesn't break up knots. Using different techniques to create friction, increases blood flow to the muscles. This boosts the temperature of the soft tissues, helping them to loosen and relax tight muscle fibers. By increasing muscle temperature and improving blood flow, massage allows muscle fibers to be stretched and elongated, increasing their elasticity and range of motion.

Massage stimulates the nervous system, which can lead to a decrease in the stress hormone cortisol and an increase in the "happy" hormones endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. This hormonal shift helps reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of relaxation and improved mood.

Do you want to feel inner positivity, energised and in a good mood through Autumn & Winter?

With the evenings getting darker earlier and the clocks going back, one hour on Sunday. It's a great time to boost your serotonin levels.

What is serotonin?
A chemical messenger that acts as both a neurotransmitter and a hormone, playing a key role in regulating mood, sleep, digestion, and other bodily functions.

How do I boost serotonin naturally?

Sunlight exposure - Spend time outdoors to get natural sunlight, aiming for about 15-20 minutes, especially in the morning, to help regulate serotonin levels.

Sleep - Ensure you get good quality 8 hours of sleep per night. Make sure you follow a sleep routine. Maintain a consistent sleep-wake schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends.

Exercise - Regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day, such as walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling to promote the release of feel-good chemicals.

Tryptophan-rich foods - Eat foods that contain tryptophan, an amino acid essential for serotonin production. Examples include eggs, salmon, turkey, nuts, seeds, and spinach.

Manage stress - Helps serotonin levels by reducing the impact of chronic stress on the brain, which can disrupt the production and regulation of this neurotransmitter. To manage stress prioritise self-care. This could be deep breathing, walking in nature at your local park, warm bath, facial mask, watching your favorite film or even using your senses: Try the "5-4-3-2-1" technique, which involves identifying five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell, and one you can taste.

Massage therapy - Can lower cortisol levels while simultaneously increasing serotonin and dopamine.

How Massage Benefits the Immune System

😩 Reduces Stress Hormones - Massage can help lower levels of stress hormones like cortisol and vasopressin, which can suppress immune function when chronically elevated.

🤒 Increases White Blood Cells - Studies indicate that massage can lead to a significant increase in white blood cells, including lymphocytes, which are crucial for fighting off bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.

💆 Improves Lymphatic System Function - Massage helps to move lymph fluid, which carries immune cells and waste products, through the body. This process, known as lymphatic drainage, ensures immune cells are effectively transported and waste is efficiently removed.

💆‍♂️ Reduces Inflammation - By lowering the levels of inflammatory cytokines, massage can help to reduce inflammation throughout the body.

👍 Enhances Nervous System Response - Massage stimulates nerves in the skin that connect to glands where immune cells are stored and produced, triggering the release of T-cells and other lymphocytes.

✔️ Promotes Overall Well-being - By reducing pain and fostering a state of relaxation, massage creates a better environment for the immune system to function optimally.

Exercise regularly - Moderate, consistent exercise improves your circulation and enhances the immune system's ability to fight off infections. Walking, swimming, cycling, exercise classes or any exercise you enjoy doing.

Stay hydrated - Drinking plenty of water helps to improves overall health by regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients to cells, lubricating joints, and aiding digestion and waste removal. Adequate water intake can also boost energy and brain function, prevent headaches and constipation, support physical performance, and help maintain healthy skin.

Prioritise quality sleep - Aim for seven to eight hours of quality sleep per night, as your body produces immune-boosting proteins called cytokines during sleep.

Manage your stress - Chronic stress releases cortisol, a hormone that can suppress the immune system. Engage in stress-reducing practices like meditation, yoga, pilates, spending time in nature, deep breathing, warm bath or hobbies.

To boost immunity in autumn, focus on eating immune-supporting foods like seasonal fruits and vegetables (rich in vitamins A, C, E, and antioxidants), lean proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains.
