Carbohydrates like pasta, rice and potatoes are one of our main sources of energy. It makes sense to eat these types of food during the day when we need most of our energy, rather than in the evening before we go to bed. Try to cut down on carbohydrates after 7 pm, they take a long time to digest and will only sit in your stomach.

Dehydration is a major cause of fatigue. Eight large glasses of water a day can help cleanse your system and keep skin looking fresh. But don't gulp it all at once - you won't give your body a chance to use it and you will find yourself running to the loo every 5 minutes. Cut down on stimulants such as coffee, tea and alcohol as these sap your body of moisture.

Alcohol adds toxins to your body and increases the need for vital B vitamins as well as zinc, magnesium and calcium.

Smoking greatly increases the risk of many health problems and saps your body of vital nutrients.

Stop saying you're too tired to exercise - as well as helping your physique, exercise gives you more energy, improves sleep patterns and maintains good blood circulation and overall good health.

Try to do enough to get your heartbeat going faster for at least 20 minutes 3 or 4 times a week. Exercising in the morning will give you more energy throughout the day.

Sleep is great for skin and it's the best boost to your immune system too.
They say an hour of sleep before midnight is better than 2 afterwards.
