Exercise will tone the body, wake you up completely and strengthen the body in the long term. Start getting up a little earlier than usual and after washing your face, do 5-10 exercises. Head turns, bends, shoulder, arm, and foot rotations, and squats are good choices. The main thing in exercise is not complexity, but regularity. Having done it several times, you will understand that it becomes much easier to wake up, and your state of health is getting better every day.
The outcome of the day depends on a balanced breakfast. A croissant and a strong cup of coffee is not the best option, as the fast carbohydrates found in sweets and baked goods will soon release all the energy and you will feel hungry again. Try to saturate the body with complex carbohydrates and proteins – they provide energy and at the same time do not lead to extra centimeters at the waist. For example, buckwheat or oatmeal, an egg and a slice of boiled chicken will do just fine. Complement your breakfast with your favorite fruit and a cup of green tea – it invigorates just as much as coffee, and it has a lot more benefits.
It is water that drives toxins and harmful substances from the body, and with them the first signs of the disease. But it also gives us energy. If you feel weak in your muscles, mild dizziness and general fatigue, perhaps you are just thirsty? Feeling thirsty is a sure signal that the body is already dehydrated – try not to allow this and drink more. Usually, five glasses of water a day (not including other drinks) is sufficient. To always remember about water, place a bottle of water on your work table and make sure that it is not empty.
Arrange mini-reboots for yourself during a busy work day: take a half hour walk during lunch, after solving a difficult problem, close your eyes for a couple of minutes and remember something pleasant, take your mind off the computer monitor and do eye exercises. These small steps lead to big results – you release stress, keep you productive, and do better at creative tasks.
