FATIGUE

Are you feeling fatigued and looking for a way to improve your energy levels? Let me introduce you to your body's powerhouse: mitochondria! 🏋️‍♀️

Mitochondria are the tiny energy producers in your cells. The more we have, the more energy we can produce! ....and the more we take care of them, the better they will function.

So here's the thing, muscle cells are VERY mitochondria dense, so one of the best ways to to get your energy up is to build and maintain your muscle mass! 💪 Resistance training is the key to increasing your mitochondria, and it's fantastic for your overall health. Don't worry if you haven't started yet; it's never too late! Just give it a go, and you'll notice a positive change in not only your energy levels, but sooo much more!

Cardio exercise is also essential for mitochondria as they need oxygen and nutrients to function correctly. Nutrients such as CoQ10, essential fatty acids, l-carnitine, and alpha-lipoic acid are a few of the key players. But most nutrients are involved in some way to our energy production - so a nutrient-rich diet is key to supporting proper cellular energy production.

If you're feeling fatigued and not exercising, it's time to get your body moving! Start slow and build up your cardio and resistance training routine. Your muscle mass and mitochondria will thank you!

Lastly, be mindful of things that can damage your mitochondria, like oxidative stress, toxins, and inflammation. Taking care of yourself and reducing exposure to toxins will help keep your mitochondria functioning at their best.

Stay active, stay healthy, and keep those mitochondria charged up! 💪
