Tired of Being Tired?

By Martina Navratilova

If you're feeling totally spent and unable to enjoy life, first check with your doctor, advises Martina Navratilova, AARP's health and fitness ambassador.

Next, find out if your daily living habits might be draining you. In this video, Martina shares the following ways to boost your energy:

• Trade natural foods for processed ones to load up on iron, Vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and other booster vitamins and minerals.
•  Eat less, more often, to keep your energy supply steady.
• Drink plenty of water every day to avoid energy-draining dehydration.
• Set consistent bedtimes and wake-up times, so your body knows when to slow down.
• Add quiet to your life, whether in the form of relaxing exercises, warm baths, or deep breathing.
• Choose activities that challenge and revitalize you.
