We all have days where we are just dragging along. There are many factors that go into the level of energy we have throughout our days. Diet, exercise, occupation, sleep, lifestyle, and many more factors can affect how much energy we have from day to day. Fatigue and chronic fatigue can make you feel like you don’t have the energy to do anything.
Personally, I always struggle to find energy around the afternoon time, specifically about an hour or so after I eat lunch. This is about the time that I am looking for an energy boost - some sort of caffeine or exercise to wake me up. However, people with chronic fatigue have it much worse. They aren’t just dealing with some tired afternoons from time to time. Instead, fighting the urge to give up and crawl back into bed becomes a daily struggle. What kinds of things can one do to get a nice energy boost throughout the day? Caffeine? Exercise?
How about marijuana? That’s right - today we are going to be talking about using cannabis for a boost of energy. Now I know what you are thinking: marijuana usually makes people tired and lazy, right? Well, that is the case at times. But it also heavily depends on what types of cannabis products you are using, as well as the specific strain that you consume. There are some really positive benefits for using Marijuana to boost levels of energy, and I wanted to take some time to talk about that today.
So first off, let’s talk more about what can cause fatigue and energy loss. I already touched on it a little bit in the first paragraph, but I wanted to take some time to talk more about it now. One of the huge reasons that people feel fatigue in their life is due to lack of exercise. Many of us live sedentary lifestyles, spending too much time sitting down and working with our brains but not with our bodies. This creates a vicious cycle of being mentally exhausted at the end of the day, but not feeling that fatigue in your body.
By getting more exercise, such as going for a run or lifting weights, we allow our body to expend the energy it needs to kick your endorphins into gear and feel more at equilibrium. This is why working out and getting some sort of physical exercise is so important. Another reason that people can deal with chronic fatigue is due to nutritional deficiency.
Obviously, diet plays a huge role in our energy and mood. However, the nutritional deficiencies that I am addressing here are more than just what you are eating - vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins for our bodies in terms of energy and functionality. If you are not getting enough vitamin D, you are probably going to feel very sluggish and tired all the time. Other factors like mental health, insomnia, prescription medications, and more can all play a part in adding to our daily fatigue and lack of energy. So, what can marijuana do to increase your energy levels?
You need to keep in mind that there is a huge difference between certain types of marijuana strains. If you are looking for a cannabis strain that will boost your energy levels and help you to feel more motivated for a task, you are going to need to find a nice Sativa strain. Choosing a sativa strain is important because it will help you feel happier and slightly euphoric, but still allow you to focus and have more energy.
