4 ways to boost your morning energy without coffee

Some of the following easy and healthy habits can help you feel energized in the early morning, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Light exercise in the morning

Light exercise in the morning such as brisk walking, yoga, or some stretching movements will increase blood circulation, release endorphins, create a pleasant feeling, and start the body after a long night's sleep.

A study published in the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics found that morning exercise was as effective as antidepressants in people with mild to moderate depressive symptoms.

In addition, physical activity also helps the body regulate its biological rhythm, supports sleep and increases alertness the next morning. People do not need to exercise at high intensity, just 10-15 minutes is enough.

Taking a cold shower in the morning helps the body increase adrenaline secretion, making the heart rate increase and alert.

Cold showers increase energy levels

Cold showers stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, which increases adrenaline, increases heart rate, and creates an immediate feeling of alertness. Research has shown that cold showers increase energy levels and reduce fatigue throughout the day. Cold showers also improve circulation, boost the immune system, and reduce muscle inflammation.

Drink water as soon as you wake up

After 6-8 hours of sleep, the body falls into a state of mild dehydration, which makes us feel sluggish when we wake up. Drinking a large glass of water when you first wake up helps to restart the digestive system, increase blood circulation and brain function. According to a study in The Journal of Nutrition , even mild dehydration can reduce concentration and increase feelings of fatigue.

Meditate and breathe deeply

Practicing meditation and deep breathing in the morning calms the nervous system, reduces the stress hormone cortisol, and increases the ability to focus and stay alert. Experts say that practicing mindfulness meditation for just 10 minutes each morning is enough to increase alertness, reduce distractions, and improve emotional control, according to Healthline .
