Generally, at the start of the school year, we are fully recharged and positive! And for good reason: during the holidays, contact with nature: oxygen, sea, sun, mountains, earth (telluric contact) added to physical and mental rest, with friendly relationships, leads to a total recharge of energy. And precisely, for naturopaths, true energy or "Vital Force" does not come from food or plants, but rather from contact with natural elements and relaxation.
Obviously, with the resumption of a frenetic pace, it's difficult to avoid quickly exhausting ourselves, as stress, lack of sleep, ultra-processed food, and city life act as real devitalizers. And while it's not always possible to go and recharge our batteries in nature, we can, however, try to limit what wastes all our beautiful energy.
A "devitalizer" is therefore an element that devitalizes us, devitaminizes us, demineralizes us, in short draws on our own reserves, proving truly unbalancing in the long term. We can therefore save our energy by reducing: caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, industrial sugar, ultra-processed food. Also be careful with snacking, which continuously uses our digestive system, mobilizing all our available energy. As for stress, along with digestion, it is the biggest energy thief, so it is advisable to find the practice that will help us manage it. This could be sport, gardening, an artistic activity, relaxation... Anything that distracts us from our worries will be beneficial!
And of course, we can also count on a wide range of food supplements: nutrients, plants, superfoods, which will provide us with the necessary support:
Vitamin C, an essential antioxidant for fighting fatigue and gaining energy...
Spirulina, the number one superfood, provides us with iron, chlorophyll, proteins, antioxidants, perfect for this intense period!
Rhodiola, an adaptogenic plant, targets mental fatigue, strengthens concentration and gives a positive mindset!
Royal jelly and ginseng, a duo often found together, are favorites for the changing of the seasons!
Not forgetting guarana, another superfood, a physical and mental stimulant, a great accompaniment when you want to stop drinking coffee...
