Do you find it hard to muster up the energy to leave bed in the morning? I think we’ve all been feeling that of late. That early morning fatigue that wears heavy on our bones is not an easy thing to shake.
But there are ways to help get you out of that AM slump and motivated to face the day. Don’t worry – I’m not talking about anything drastic like running a 5k every morning or rising at the crack of dawn for sunrise yoga. The weariness we feel can sometimes be remedied with a few simple steps. The key is to identify what your body is lacking so that you can provide it with what it needs, from taking daily supplements to ensuring we stay hydrated.
Here are some easy ways to boost your morning energy levels, so you can start the day on the right foot.This was recommended to me years ago and it actually transformed my mornings. As someone who is constantly forgetting fluids, drinking a glass of water first thing helps rehydrate my system, clearing the morning grogginess from my mind. Surprisingly, it always makes me appreciate my morning coffee more. I’m able to sip and enjoy it, rather than guzzle it down in an effort to wake up.
And, of course, it goes without saying to keep up that water intake throughout the day. Studies show that dehydration can affect your mood and energy levels, so make sure you’re consuming six to eight glasses of water per day.Our bodies use vitamins and minerals to build energy, but most of us don’t have time to ensure we receive each of those essential nutrients in the daily meals we eat. That’s where supplements come in; they’re a great way to fill in those gaps.
