Tiredness, fatigue<\/strong>, irritability, moodiness, apathy, insomnia, lower physical and intellectual performance, lack of vitality<\/strong>, bad mood… These are just some of the symptoms caused by energy imbalances<\/strong>. As Amalia Rubio, head of the SHA’s Energy Health Unit explains, \u201cevery cell, organ and system in the body works at a certain electrical frequency<\/strong> and requires energy to perform its functions, such as the heartbeat, breathing, cellular and metabolic processes and digestion. The human body has an electromagnetic field<\/strong> that we need in order to live and be productive. Therefore, when there are blockages in this vital energy<\/strong>, which is called Qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Prana in Ayurveda, physical, mental and emotional health suffers\u201d.<\/p>\n It is essential that energy levels are balanced <\/strong>if you want to enjoy an optimal state of wellbeing<\/strong>, perform to the best of your ability in all areas (work, personal, social) and face daily challenges. However, a lack of restorative rest, an unhealthy diet, a sedentary lifestyle or increased alcohol consumption during Christmas celebrations can cause blocks. Amalia shares seven natural ways<\/strong> to rebalance your energy levels.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Diet is fundamental both when it comes to controlling stress and enjoying good energetic health. Prioritise natural, seasonal, local foods<\/strong> and the more organic, the better, because they have more nutrients and less pesticides and chemicals and boost your energy more. Also, if you eat slowly and chew your food well,<\/strong> your body will need less energy to digest it. And drink between 1.5 and 2 litres of quality water a day to flush out any toxins.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Physical exercise helps to maintain the right flow of energy<\/strong> and is a very healthy way to release accumulated tension. During exercise, the body secretes endorphins and hormones, such as oxytocin<\/strong>, which act as natural painkillers, boosting mood and promoting relaxation and stress management<\/strong>. In addition, exercise triggers a process called piezoelectricity<\/strong> in the bones, which strengthens both bone mass and cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Excessive use of electromagnetic technologies consumes, weakens and unbalances our energy levels<\/strong>. Turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or your router when they\u2019re not in use, try not to carry your phone too close to your skin (it\u2019s better in your backpack or bag than in your trouser pocket) and, whenever possible, put it on airplane mode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
