Say no to the quick fix
When you're flagging during a busy day, it's easy to reach for a coffee, sugary snack or cigarette. Yes, they'll give you a quick buzz, but they can leave you feeling even more tired than before. Opt for plenty of water instead, or even a hot cup of tea.
Turn to nature's energy boosters
Getting regular exercise as well as your daily five portions of fruit and vegetables can help boost your energy levels. But if you haven't got time to chop up that salad, pick up a Knorr Vie shot instead. It counts for half your daily fruit and vegetable intake – and helps boost your energy levels. Better still, Knorr Vie shots are free from added sugar or salt, and don't contain additives of any kind, so your body really will thank you.
Get to know your low-GI foods
Go for foods which have a low glycemic index (GI) such as fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and pasta. They can help keep you feeling fuller for longer – reducing the craving for that mid-afternoon snack.
Exercise made easy
Bringing oxygen to your body and releasing feel-good chemicals in your brain, exercise is instant energy. But if you don't have the time or money to get to the gym, you don't have to miss out. Just by climbing the stairs instead of taking the lift, or getting off the bus a stop early, you'll start to reap the benefits.
Rest easy
Taking regular breaks during the day can help ward off tiredness. Make time for tea - a hot cup of tea can be both relaxing and invigorating. And a good night’s sleep is always the bottom line for feeling fine during the day. A soothing bath at the end of a busy day can help send the stresses of the day away.
Energy by the bowlful
Knorr's stock cubes and soups can help turn a quick meal into a comforting source of energy. They're an easy way to make fresh vegetables taste delicious. And as well as helping to keep you hydrated, soups create light, revitalising meals that won't leave you feeling bloated and tired.
