Feeling the afternoon slump? or are you low on energy?

💁🏻‍♀️The important reason for the afternoon slump is:⬇️
👉🏻Biological drop in energy 7 hours after waking: Our body’s internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, regulates various physiological processes, including sleep-wake cycles and energy levels. Around 7 hours after waking up, many people experience a natural dip in alertness and energy as part of their circadian rhythm. This dip is influenced by factors such as body temperature and hormonal fluctuations. Understanding this biological pattern can help us plan activities and breaks to manage the afternoon slump more effectively.

🔸Opt for a balanced lunch with protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs to avoid energy crashes from carb-heavy meals.
🔸Consume caffeine in moderation and avoid it later in the day to prevent afternoon energy slumps.
🔸Take regular breaks from screens, practice the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
🔸Stand up, stretch, and move around periodically to counteract the negative effects of prolonged sitting.
🔸Prioritize consistent and sufficient sleep for improved daytime alertness and energy levels.
🔸Choose whole foods and incorporate fiber-rich snacks to stabilize blood sugar levels throughout the day.
