What are energy flows
Every living being is an integral energy system with seven centers (chakras). They support the performance and normal course of physiological processes, affect the emotional state and way of thinking.
What is affected by the amount of internal forces?
To perform this or that activity, you need to spend a certain amount of “power”. Even at rest, we need “recharge” to maintain the current level of physical and mental development. Depression and lack of joy arise where there is a decline in energy. Such a state of health leads to absent-mindedness, indifference, a narrowing of the range of interests and hobbies, and a lack of self-confidence. Often a person begins to feel that he has reached a dead end.
Constant fatigue is not the norm
Very often, people mistakenly assume that chronic fatigue is the norm, if we take into account our rhythm of life: systematic lack of sleep, heavy workload, frequent stress... Under such conditions, even a physically strong person is unlikely to feel cheerful.
According to doctors, a healthy person should not experience systematic fatigue, and after sleep he should feel cheerful. If your performance has decreased, apathy and an irresistible desire to sleep have appeared, you must undergo an examination, and as quickly as possible. Loss of strength can act as a symptom of many diseases, including the most dangerous ones.
What is energy spent on?
If resources are leaking, then the integrity of the energy system has been compromised. This can manifest itself on four levels.
On physical
- Unconscious copying of the behavior of someone who is next to you and consumes your internal resources (is a “vampire”).
- Uncontrolled muscle tension, blocking.
- Chronic diseases, ailments accompanied by incessant pain.
- Energy-consuming positions (stooping, bodily looseness).
On the energy
- Thoughts that the unwanted state will always continue.
- Complaints about lack of strength.
- Staying in a confined space for a long time without going outside.
- Shallow breathing (exhalation is shorter than inhalation).
On the mental
- Self-examination, self-flagellation and self-criticism.
- Isolation from reality, immersion in dreams.
- Unhelpful rumination over past events or worries about the future.
- A "restless mind" jumping from one object to another and completely identifying itself with its thought processes.
- Unfinished, postponed tasks.
- Staying outside your zone of influence: talking about the weather, economics, politics.
On an emotional
- The predominance of aggression, pessimism, anger over other emotions.
- Unanswered questions regarding personal life.
- Conflicting goals and dreams.
- Psychological trauma.
- Internal conflicts, unhealthy addictions.
- Sleep problems and irregular routine.
- Negative reaction of loved ones to your behavior.
Signs of chronic fatigue syndrome
Signs of chronic fatigue syndrome may include:
- frequent sleep disturbances due to excessive fatigue;
- headaches - it hurts very often and spasms are not relieved by painkillers;
- nausea, digestive problems;
- a significant decrease in energy, even if the work done did not require increased concentration, a feeling of weakness appears;

Top 10 invigorating products
So, what are the most effective performance-enhancing foods? Let's look at a selection of 10 of the most proven options that give you a surge of energy throughout the day and best meet your energy needs.
Oatmeal or muesli
In addition to simple and complex carbohydrates, it also contains magnesium, vitamin B1 and phosphorus, which are involved in intercellular metabolism.
Oatmeal is a good source of energy, but it doesn’t last long.
That is why it is recommended to consume it with milk, adding a small amount of butter (preferably “sandwich” butter, which has a low fat content) and dried fruits.
Dried fruits
Contains fructose and fiber . The first is one of the simplest carbohydrates, which are absorbed within 5 - 10 minutes after consumption, and fiber helps the body digest food and prevents intestinal upset.
Dried fruits are also extremely beneficial for the heart, which indirectly improves blood circulation in the brain.
Some of the most energy-rich dried fruits are dried bananas, dried apricots, and baked pears.
Eggs
Quail eggs are better suited - they contain almost 3 times more protein. They also contain simple fats that are absorbed within 2–3 hours, providing a boost of energy for a long period of time.
Choline contained in eggs strengthens memory.
The only caveat is that it is better to eat eggs boiled or fresh.
It is worth remembering that raw chicken eggs can be a source of salmonellosis. But quails have “immunity” to this infection, since the pores of their shells are so small that even bacteria are not able to penetrate through them. Therefore, you should only eat quail eggs raw; it is better to avoid chicken eggs.
Honey
Honey is one of the most beneficial foods with a high concentration of carbohydrates for the brain. It contains virtually no fat, but, in addition to sucrose, there is a wide list of minerals, metals and vitamins that help normalize the biochemical composition of the blood.
It has been proven that honey has a positive effect on brain function, improves concentration and memory.
Many doctors recommend giving up sugar altogether and replacing it with honey, but we should not forget that when heated above 65 degrees Celsius, it loses most of its beneficial properties.
Coffee
The situation with the effect of coffee on the brain is ambiguous. It provides a boost of energy due to the presence of caffeine, which acts as a stimulant . However, it has virtually no negative effect on the body.
Accordingly, coffee really helps to get a boost of energy. Caffeine also improves memory.
But you shouldn't abuse it. Otherwise, you can get the body accustomed to the fact that it receives energy only in this way - simple products will become less effective.
Let's remember that we reviewed 6 invigorating drinks to replace morning coffee.
Fruits and vegetables
Including fruits and vegetables in your diet to boost energy is a universal solution. They all contain fiber , which is necessary for energy and normal digestion. At the same time, both fruits and vegetables are easily digestible foods.
They must be included in the diet when prescribing gentle diets, for example, during the recovery period after treatment for gastritis or stomach ulcers.
Natural yogurt
Easily digestible, contains a fruit base and a small amount of sugar. At the same time, it also contains lactic acid bacteria, which form the basis of beneficial intestinal microflora.
Regular consumption of yoghurt will not only normalize the functioning of the entire digestive system, but also receive a considerable boost of energy. It is also good for women's health.
Mackerel
It contains vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids necessary for the brain.
These substances are directly involved in the production of serotonin and dopamine in the brain - hormones that are responsible for feelings of joy and also help neurons absorb oxygen.
As a result, mackerel acts as a stimulant, but without any negative consequences for the body. In addition, mackerel contains simple proteins and easily digestible fats, as well as minerals.
Beans
Although, in theory, all legumes can be included here. Almost all of them consist of proteins and complex carbohydrates, which are used by the body throughout the day .
A breakfast based on canned beans is no worse option than traditional oatmeal. If you don’t like beans, pea soup or various kinds of salads with peas will suit you (but better without mayonnaise and fatty meats).
Nuts
Walnuts are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, omega-3 fatty acids and minerals. All this maintains the nominal concentration of nutritional components in the body , which will have a positive effect on the metabolic rate.
Accordingly, if you just eat nuts, you will have minimal energy. And if you add them, for example, to dessert, it will help the body quickly get a boost of energy.
Nuts have also been proven to improve memory and attention.
How to renew human energy: energy cleansing
There are many ancient cleansing rituals using the elements. And today we can observe manifestations of these tools: for example, cleansing in an ice hole on Epiphany and jumping over a fire on the night of Ivan Kupala. But we live in the modern world. Try the following methods
Water
The easiest way to get rid of negative energy. Bathing helps restore inner harmony and balance. A morning shower will invigorate and fill you with strength, and an evening shower will help you relax and prepare your body for quality sleep.
Cleaning with salt
Fill a ceramic or clay container with salt crystals and place it next to the bed you sleep on. During the night, all the negativity accumulated during the day will go away, and your rest will be more complete. Periodically you need to change the contents of the dish by dissolving it in water or burying it.
How to restore the body's energy balance: cleansing with a candle
Fire will rid the room of negative energy. To do this, you should go around each room one by one with a lit wax candle. The space needs to be walked clockwise around the perimeter, paying special attention to the corners. The wax will smoke and crackle in those places where there is a particularly unfavorable energy clot.
To get rid of negative emotions, sit in front of the flame and watch it until the wick burns completely. To clear the energy of another person, position yourself behind him. Move the heat source, moving from the tailbone up and drawing circles. As soon as you hear a crackling sound, stop in this area and wait until the light becomes smooth and clean again. Once you reach the top of your head, repeat the procedure twice.
"Cylinder" technique
Imagine yourself in such a geometric figure without a bottom and without a lid, into which the energy of a pleasant greenish color enters from above - the shade of life. It fills the body from the heels to the crown. Feel warm, calm, confident.
