    To increase the energy levels in the body you should follow some tips-
    # Eat a balanced diet. Do not skip meals. Make sure the foods you eat are loaded with vital nutrients. Make sure your diet consists of at least 50 percent complex carbohydrates.Avoid fatty foods.Foods high in saturated fats are disastrous for your cholesterol levels and your waistline and they can lower the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream causing you to feel sleepy after eating.
    # Exercise is very necessary to increase the energy.You should try to exercise five times a week for 30 minutes each time. If you're unsure of what kind of exercise to do, try walking.
    # Water is an essential part of any plan to boost energy, so make sure you get your 8 glasses a day. When the body is dehydrated, it generates energy less efficiently. A study at Tufts University found that just a 1-2% drop in your water levels can impair your thinking. If you find 8 glasses hard to stomach, increase water-rich foods in your diet, such as watermelon, cucumbers or soups.
    # Have a proper sleep.If you want to avoid the numerous side effects that come along with insufficient sleep, then you need to sleep the recommended number of hours each night and make sure it's of high quality. Children from the ages of 3 up to the age of 12 need between 9 and 12 hours of sleep per night, while teenagers need 9 hours of sleep and adults, 7 to 8 hours.
    # Doing meditation also helps in increasing energy levels.A three- to five-minute meditation session can make you feel calmer and increase your energy levels. It also helps deal with stress, which can also sap your energy.
    # Lastly,Have at least 4-5 meals a day which will help to increase your metabolism and don't ever skip your Break fast.this will help you to be energetic through out the day.

    Following are some ways to increase energy levels-

    Rest and sleep for at least for 8 hours a day.

    Water is an essential part of any plan to boost energy, so make sure you get your 8 glasses a day. When the body is dehydrated, it generates energy less efficiently. A study at Tufts University found that just a 1-2% drop in your water levels can impair your thinking. If you find 8 glasses hard to stomach, increase water-rich foods in your diet, such as watermelon, cucumbers or soups.

    If you want to be more mentally alert, ensure your diet is rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6. Also known as essential fatty acids, they can be found in foods including: oily fish, nuts, seeds and avocados.Regular stretching will help with flexibility and muscle tone but it has also been shown to keep the brain's arteries open and unclogged. 15% of our blood flow occurs within the brain, so maintaining a well-oxygenated flow there will help keep lethargy at bay.

    Ditch the junk food! Foods high in saturated fats are disastrous for your cholesterol levels and your waistline and they can lower the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream causing you to feel sleepy after eating.

    Fit in 30 minutes of cardiovascular or aerobic exercise each day. It will help increase blood and oxygen flow within your body, increasing energy levels. Regular exercise is also a great way to help your body cope with stress levels too!

    Give your body a boost by relaxing! Meditation can help reduce stress by helping mind and body to relax.
    Keep your blood sugar levels steady by eating 5 small meals each day. Larger meals often leave the diner feeling sleepy afterwards as the sugar levels stabilise.
