Feeling tired, stressed or like you don’t have enough energy to get through
the day?
A teacher’s workload is not restricted to class time alone. With trying to balance all of the planning, meetings and extra duties it is easy to become run down. To support your energy levels, target the quality of your blood. Our blood transports nutrients and wastes and supports our immune system. Start by becoming more conscious of your diet and water intake. Remember that we only have 5.5 Litres of blood working to keep our body going and approximately half of this is water. By not drinking enough water, we thicken our blood. This places more stress on your heart and can also result in pounding headaches. If you find that your energy levels are still not improving, vitamin B supplements will enrich your blood. B groups have also been proven to benefit stress levels. Blood tests may also give you more insight into why your energy levels are suffering. For women in particular, iron levels can be low. Without iron, the blood cannot transport oxygen to the rest of the body as efficiently. Multivitamins (particularly those specialised for women) provide you with the B group you need to support your blood and energy levels. They also contain vitamins to support general immune function, bone and muscle health.
CoQ10 can also be a valuable supplement to consider as it supports energy, stamina and cardiovascular health. Research shows that our body stores begin to deplete CoQ10 in people as early as 20 years of age. This supplement is generally not included in most multivitamins and can be considered when the days seem too long to get through. CoQ10 also has anti-aging properties!
