Need a boost? Clif Bar
is the healthy way to stay
energised every day

e’re all juggling more than ever these
W days. Chasing a happy work-life
balance can be tough, and leave us
feeling exhausted. But there are ways to give your
daily energy levels a lift, whatever life throws at you.
MAKE TIME FOR YOUR PASSION
If you’re constantly tired, it could be because
life has become a grind – so reconnect with
what kindles your passion, and re-energise.
It could be a hobby like painting, or playing
an instrument. Studies also show that
volunteering boosts happiness, which in
turn boosts your energy.
SET A GOAL
It doesn’t have to be a triathlon – it could be
running your local parkrun, or committing to
a local yoga class for one term. Having a goal
motivates you and gives a sense of achievement,
another great psychological energiser.
CHECK YOUR D
Fatigue can sometimes indicate you’re lacking
in vitamin D, needed for everything from
healthy bones to immunity. Our bodies make this
super-vit from sunlight in summer – so roll up
your sleeves and pop outside. In winter, you may
need a supplement.
SNACK HEALTHILY
A balanced diet can slip if we’re overwhelmed,
with no time to plan healthy meals. But reaching
for junk food is always bad news in the long
run. Stop yourself lagging by keeping healthy
snacks on hand – in your bag, desk drawer
or cupboard. Clif Bar is the perfect daily 6 G R E AT R E A S O N S TO C H O S E C L I F
