I want to share this energy-boosting moves I read from my power planner. :)
Fire up with these healthy practices.
1. FIRST DRINK. Cleanse your system and hydrate your body after a night's rest by drinking a tall glass of water first thing in the morning. you can squeeze some calamansi or lemon juice into it so your first drink of the day has that added tangy kick.
2. NAP TIME. When you feel sluggish in the middle of the day, take a 30-minute power nap. studies show that power naps ensure better performance. just keep in mind that you should not exceed the prescribed frame. if you do, you enter the stage five REM sleep. this wouldn't exactly be advisable if you're at work. your aim is to enjoy the feeling of meditative relaxation - not deep sleep.
3. FIBER UP. Fiber improves your endurance. various studies show that people with high fiber diets last longer in exercise sessions and also burned more fat. thus it is advisable for you to eat a high-fiber meal - such as bowl of oatmeal and a piece of fruit - three hours before a workout.
4. SNOOZE ISSUE - snoozing for more than an hour after the alarm clock goes off can disrupt your sleep-wake cycle and set you up for a tension headache later in the day. so, get up as soon as your alarm clock goes off. resist the urge to linger in bed.
5. WALK-OFF. Taking a 15-minute walk can reduce stress and improve your mood for the rest of the day. Walking, as other forms of exercise, prompts the brain to release endorphins, which help alleviate pain and stimulate relaxation. make a decision to pencil in this quick exercise even on your busiest days.

I will also have to try these things out. It seems that when my alarm clock goes off I can get up after hitting the snooze one time but then a couple of hours later I get really sleepy. I usually try and sleep for about an hour and it does seem to work. I have a little more energy to help me through the day. I will have to try the other ideas.
