How to Avoid Afternoon Drowsiness: 6 Secrets to Staying Alive
If you want to maintain high energy levels throughout the day and avoid afternoon drowsiness, try these tips.
Biologist and nutritionist Christopher Rhodes advised, firstly, to avoid snacking – if you choose foods that contain a lot of carbohydrates, the result will be spikes in glucose levels, brain fog and emotional swings.
To help maintain a feeling of fullness and balance your glucose levels, snack on nuts, fruit, or jerky.
Secondly, control your glucose levels, as they affect your energy and mood. To do this, combine carbohydrates with healthy fats, protein and fiber.
Third, be mindful of your intake of dietary supplements – consult your doctor before taking anything.
Fourth, try to avoid coffee, which, like sugar, causes short bursts of energy followed by bouts of lethargy. To avoid experiencing a sharp drop in energy, it is worth combining caffeine with proteins, fats and fiber.
Make sure your lunch is nutritious – and this is the fifth condition for achieving energy during the day. It should definitely contain protein, fiber and healthy fats.
And sixth, move after you've eaten lunch. Good physical activities include walking, climbing stairs, gardening, etc.
