In order to function at our fullest we need boundless energy to get us through the day, with all that has to be accomplished.

When we are feeling full of energy we tend to have:

• A good perspective on life
• Sharp mind and good problem solving
• Positive outlook
• Physical fitness
• Rarely/never ill
• Full life
• Contentment

Modern life with all the pressures that accompany it takes its toll on our energy levels.  For most of us we don’t notice the gradual decline in energy levels until one day we wake up without that zing that we used to have.

Take the Energy Check Test to see how your levels are.

Score the questionnaire as follows:

0....for rarely or never
1....for sometimes
2....for frequently or always

Mark down your total for each of the 6 sections and your overall score.

ENERGY CHECK
Are you still sleepy 20 minutes after getting up?
Do you need tea, coffee, a cigarette or something to get you going in the morning?
Do you crave sweet foods, bread, cereal, popcorn or pasta?
Do you feel like you 'need' an alcoholic drink on most days?
Are you overweight and unable to shift the extra pounds?
Do you often have energy slumps during the day or after meals?
Do you have mood swings or difficulty concentrating?
Do you get dizzy or irritable if you go 6 hours without food?
Do you find you over-react to stress?
Is your energy now less than it used to be?
Do you often get bloated after eating certain foods?
Do you suffer from reduced libido or loss of interest in sex?
Are you gaining weight?
Do you suffer from fatigue or loss of energy?
Is your memory deteriorating?
Are you suffering from insomnia?
Are you lacking motivation?
Do you suffer from depression?
Do you wake up each morning not feeling refreshed?
Do you find that it takes you longer to process information?

A score of 2 or less indicates that your energy levels are at a reasonable level considering your busy life.  Redo this test every 2 months.

If you have scored 2 for any one question or if your total score is 3 or more, this indicates that your energy levels may be affecting your health and well being.  Your body is not doing such a great job and is in need of a review of diet, lifestyle and/or environment.
