Do you rely on coffee to emerge from morning grogginess? Do you find yourself in the downward spiral of needing more and stronger cups throughout the day to keep your energy elevated? Do you ask yourself, “Might there be a better way?”
In addition to the addiction factor and diminishing returns, some excessive consumers of coffee may also experience symptoms such as dry skin, dehydration, and heart palpitations. The good news is that starting your day with the right diet after “getting up” can help your body “wake up” and begin the day with renewed vitality—even without coffee.
Start With a Glass of Warm Water to Hydrate and Awaken
After waking up in the morning, the simplest way to invigorate your mind is to drink a glass of warm water. Water replenishes your body with adequate hydration and promotes metabolism and circulation. Fatigue, dizziness, and mental fog may be signals of dehydration, and hydrating yourself at this time is the best way to boost your energy.
