1. Eat a banana
Bananas
provide minerals, nutrients and stimulants such as potassium, which
provides controlled energy, preferred to the type of energy obtained all
at once from simple sugars.
2. Place head between your legs
This trick
will get blood flowing to your head. Sit on a chair and put your head
between your legs. Send your arms towards the floor and relax your body
for 20 seconds. After the time has passed, rise slowly, vertebra by
vertebra. This exercise will give you energy that gradually unfolds.
3. Drink Green Tea
Yes we've
said it before, but the fact still remains that green tea has an
abundance of phytochemicals called tannins. These help, among other
things, to calm the nervous system and thus increase the feeling of
well-being.
4. Pinch your cheeks
Our
grandparents probably had a good reason to pinch our cheek. This
stimulates the blood flow to the face and makes you feel more alert.
5. Drink lots of water
All body
systems require a large amount of water to function. In the absence of
water in the body, proper functioning slows, blood flow becomes weaker
and less oxygen reaches the brain. Drink a glass of water every two
hours at least, when the goal is to drink 8-12 glasses of water a day.
6. Get some sun
Small doses
of vitamin D can be a great incentive. Take a walk or sit a few minutes
in the sun. Fresh air combined with natural light will make you feel
more alert.
7. Move the body
Once you
feel the fatigue taking over, get up and shake your body. Do some
stretching, push-ups, a short trip or just a few jumps instead. Movement
stimulates blood flow in the body and releases endorphins that make you
feel alert.
8. Laugh out loud
Laughter
has been shown to destress us but also acts as a natural stimulant. A
good belly laugh releases endorphins that neutralize the bad effects of
the hormone cortisol (stress hormone), increase blood flow and oxygen
and give you a sense of well being.
9. Take a deep breath
Take a deep
breath and slowly let it out through your nose, and again, fill your
abdomen and exhale, emptying all the air from your lungs. Do it three
times. Breathing will help your body relax and get rid of toxins, and
the oxygen will stimulate you.
10. Put in a house plant
Stuffy
offices have limited air movement which can increase fatigue and cause
headaches and allergies. Insert household plants that can help filter
out volatile chemical compounds and airborne pollutants, as well as
stimulate air movement to better help you deal with the standing air,
and make you feel less fatigued.
11. Smell a lemon
Certain
smells like citrus, ginger and mint can produce a stimulating effect and
increase alertness. Light a scented candle or sniff a lemon for
stimulating energy and improved mood.
12. Surround yourself in red
Studies
show that the color red is associated with a sense of victory and
confidence. Try to surround yourself in shades of red to elevate your
mood.
13. Sit upright
it wouldn't
hurt to stand up straight in the chair. An Upright posture not only
helps blood and oxygen to move more freely, but also enhances the sense
of security.
14. Wake up the brain
When the
brain feels drowsy, try to wake him by solving a crossword puzzle,
reading aloud, talking to a friend, a quick recitation or singing.
15. Play with a pet
Spend time with your furry friend. It will make you feel happier and more energetic!
