Strategies for optimizing your energy levels

The boundless energy that we often took for granted when we were young tends to diminish as we grow older. Once able to handle numerous physically demanding or stressful tasks in a day, even a small amount of activity now leaves us feeling completely exhausted. We may wonder what happens to our energy and if there are ways to regain it. Additionally, we may also ask how we can make the most of the energy we currently have.

There are various reasons why our energy level can decrease. Aging, illness, and other factors can contribute to this decline. It is important to understand these factors in order to effectively address and manage our energy levels.
