Choosing the right drink in the morning not only helps keep you alert but also aids digestion, stabilizes blood sugar and maintains concentration throughout the day.
First of all, plain water is the top priority choice. After 6:08 hours of sleep, the body is dehydrated through breathing and sweating. Drinking 12 cups of water immediately after waking up helps clean the digestive system, stimulate bowel movements and awaken organs in the body. According to research, mild dehydration in the morning can reduce cognitive function and mental energy. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement water in the early morning.
If you need more alertness, black coffee or green tea is a good choice. Caffeine in coffee helps increase alertness by inhibiting sleep-inducing substances in the brain. However, you should drink a moderate amount, less than 400 mg of caffeine/day, to avoid insomnia or anxiety. Green tea contains substances that help calm the mind, help relax, and the antioxidants in tea support the heart and metabolism.
In addition, warm lemon juice or honey juice are also popular choices for many people. Lemon provides vitamin C and stimulates digestion, while honey contains natural sugars that provide quick energy. However, for people with sensitive stomachs, they should take diluted lemon or avoid drinking it on an empty stomach.
Another nutritious option is a vegetable smoothie or fresh fruit juice that does not add sugar, provides vitamins, minerals, fiber, helps you feel full longer and aids digestion.
In the morning, you should prioritize drinking water, combined with coffee, tea or water rich in vitamins such as vegetable and fruit smoothies according to your needs. The important thing is to choose a suitable location, limit excessive sugar and caffeine to have a stable source of energy for the whole day.
