@pausewithjodi: I don’t know about you, but menopause has really upped my levels of fatigue and sometimes at the most inopportune times! These 3 tips for instant energy are easy and obtainable for just about anyone, and they only take a few minutes. But first save this for later and follow me for more menopause and yoga tips SUNLIGHT Sunlight gives you more energy. It’s been proven to boost your mood and help with your sleep. Your mood plays a big role in your energy levels, and the better you sleep, the more energy you will have during the day. Based on your skin tone, here’s how much sun exposure the experts recommend : * Lighter skin tones: 10 to 15 minutes a day * Darker skin tones: 25 to 40 minutes a day This, of course, doesn’t mean you have to sit in the sun for a consecutive 10 to 15 minutes…..getting out for a walk, tending to your garden, or drinking a cup of coffee or tea on your patio or front doorstep will mix it up! BACKBENDS Backbends tap into the circulatory system by increasing blood flow throughout the body, all the way from the head to the toes providing instant energy. Backbends can excite the nervous system leading to an increase in energy levels and boost your feeling of vitality. This is my go to move for energy is from my kundalini practice: Stand withe feet hip width distance Inhale reach your arms above your head and bend backwards Exhale bend knees slightly and forward bend as far as you can Repeat with the breath for one minute Counterposing your backbend with a forward bend helps to bring balance to the body and nervous system and stretches tight back body muscles. CHIA SEEDS If you find yourself yawning mid-afternoon and are looking for a healthy pick-me-up, consider giving chia seeds a try. Chia seeds have an optimal balance of protein, fat, and fiber which offers a stable source of energy that lasts for a long time. I add chia seeds to my protein shakes, oatmeal, and also make chia seed pudding…..mix 1/2 cup your choice of milk with 2 tbsp chia seeds and top with fruit and nuts. And you’re off! xo Jodi . . . . . #menopausetips #MenopauseYoga #YogaForMenopause #HolisticWellness #energyboost #womenshealth #chiaseeds #sunlight #backbends
