Ten secrets for men to be energetic

Modern fast-paced life requires not only hard work, intelligence and wit, but also vigorous energy. Use scientific methods to adjust your body and mind, and let others feel your abundant energy and quick thinking at any time.

1. 5 minutes of morning exercise

After getting up, exercise for 5 minutes not only recharges the body, but also doubles the calories burned. Many people mistakenly believe that morning exercise must get up at 5 o'clock and run for several kilometers, which is actually unnecessary and unrealistic. You only need to spend 5 minutes doing push-ups and jumping exercises to increase your heart rate to achieve the desired effect; or punch 100 times in front of the mirror and feel the energy accumulation process.

2. Develop a habit of drinking water

If you are dehydrated, you will often feel depressed. Drink a glass of water in the morning to clean your body and add some "lubricant" to your internal organs; drink at least one liter of water every day, but not more.

3. Pay attention to breakfast

A study in the United States found that people who skip breakfast have a higher body mass index (BMI), which means they are overweight, sleepy, and lack energy. People who pay attention to breakfast are much more energetic and have a relatively symmetrical body shape. The most nutritious and healthy Western breakfast is: two slices of whole wheat bread, a piece of smoked salmon, and a tomato. Whole wheat bread contains rich carbohydrates and fiber; the lycopene in tomatoes is beneficial to bone growth and health, and is very good for the prevention of prostate diseases; the rich fatty acids and proteins in salmon are more beneficial to the body.

4. Snack at 10 o'clock

Even if you have a good breakfast, by 10:30 a.m., the glycogen stored the day before is almost gone. If you want to feel like you have just recharged for the rest of the day, you must have a snack. A piece of chocolate, or an energy bar. A few cookies, in addition to replenishing energy, can also effectively prevent overeating at lunch.

5. Afternoon coffee

After lunch, the body's sleep factor (a molecule that can induce sleep) increases, and it is the easiest time to feel sleepy. Drinking a small cup of coffee at this time is the best. Of course, drinking tea is also fine, whatever you like! Don't forget not to drink coffee within 4 hours before going to bed, so as not to be too excited and unable to sleep.

6. The more you complain, the more relief you get

Personality can also regulate fatigue. A study in the Netherlands shows that introverts and shy people are more likely to feel tired at work, while extroverts are more energetic. This is because people who love to talk to others are good at finding fun and talking about their troubles, stress and bad luck. They will not feel tired or bored. On the contrary, they like to be quiet and alone. People who don’t like socializing lack this channel to relieve stress. After a long time, they will inevitably feel overwhelmed.

7. Sit with proper posture

Poor sitting posture, slouching when walking, slouching shoulders and bulging stomach are usually the signs that your energy has been depleted. If you cannot maintain the correct posture when sitting in the office for seven or eight hours, you will feel more tired. Whether standing or sitting, you should pull in your abdomen and straighten your waist, relax your shoulders, and feel that your neck is slightly stretched.

8. Zhang Chi combined

If you encounter a difficult problem at work and cannot solve it in a short time, it is better to take a break, such as pouring a cup of tea, change your mind, and then continue to work. When you are so tired that you can't breathe, take a deep breath (count to 3), then exhale (count to 6); or flip through sports magazines, browse entertainment gossip on the Internet, and chat with someone for a while, maybe inspiration will come to you inadvertently.

9. Stand up to answer the phone

Stand up and take the opportunity to stretch your muscles while making a phone call, and take a deep breath to allow oxygen-rich blood to flow to the brain. This simple change can make you twice as energetic for several hours.

10. Singing in the Bath

Singing loudly in the shower promotes the release of endorphins, which in turn creates a feeling of happiness and well-being, and relieves stress. The worse your mood, the more you should sing. As for whether it sounds good or not, or whether you are out of tune, who cares!
