Start the day with hydration and light movement
The body naturally feels more alert after drinking water and moving gently. Start your day with these simple habits to feel more awake.
- Drink a glass of water upon waking.
- Stretch, walk, or move gently for 5-10 minutes.
- Avoid jumping straight into caffeine or stimulants.
Keep energy stable with balanced meals
Meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats can provide longer-lasting energy without crashing. Focus on nutrient-dense foods throughout the day.
- Include a source of protein in every meal.
- Prioritize whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
- Avoid processed foods that spike blood sugar.
