If you have a typical desk job, maybe these steps can help you beat daily fatigue and lethargy.
1. Drink Plenty Of Water
Hydrate yourself constantly. Dehydration saps out a lot of energy and affects performance. Dehydration can cause a lot of fatigue so it’s important to tank up on at least four litres (or more) of water on a daily basis.
2. Protein-Based Diet
Eating right is of prime importance. It boosts energy levels and balances the carb intake. The more carbs you take in, especially in the morning, the more glucose your body produces and that can lead to high blood sugar levels in the body. It can also make you very lethargic. So balance the effect out with a good solid protein-based breakfast and try and introduce at least 80% of proteins in your diet daily.
3. Take Screen Breaks
Sitting in front of the screen for hours together can mentally tire you more than physically. So take a break from your laptop screens every hour. Also, give yourself a screen-less hour before getting some sleep.
4. Have A Green Diet
Include more green leafy veggies in your diet. The way you eat can make a lot of difference in how energised you feel throughout the day. Eat plentiful of spinach, broccoli, green peas. Definitely a great energy booster!
5. Movement is important Any form of movement and exercise is important. Try yoga, which not only clears the mind but replenishes a lot of energy too. It’s a good way to tone the body and alert the mind. So get a mat and strike a pose and you’ll always be ready to face a long day.
6. Stretch
Stretch once in the morning. It eliminates tension and improves blood flow. Stretch in the middle of your work day too. Take breaks every 30-45 minutes and stretch your back and shoulder.
