Are you feeling tired and sluggish? Itβs normal to feel like you have less energy when itβs dark out even before you leave work. We are programmed to be awake during the day and sleep at night, so inevitably we become sleepier once the sun begins to go down. For this reason we start to get that tired feeling during the colder and shorter winter days. Beat the winter blues without a caffeine overload by incorporating natural energy boosters into your diet.
Replace your lights in your living room and bedroom with these bulbs to mimic the sun. Its as close as youβre going to get to the real thing when youβre at home. Not only will it give you a feeling of sunlight but it will help with eye strain and promote well being.

There is nothing that will decrease your energy more than dehydration. Avoid headaches and dull skin by drinking 8-10 glasses a day.
Replace that morning cup of coffee with some green tea with lemon and ginger root instead. It will give you a natural energy boost without the jitters and dehydration. By not relying on coffee to wake you up in the morning your body will slowly adjust and wake up the natural way.
If youβre not a morning person and donβt like the idea of working out in the early hours of the day, try something more relaxing like yoga. It will still help wake you up while increasing blood circulation, decreasing muscle tension and wake up those limps. Take a few basic yoga classes at your nearby gym or yoga studio and youβll be able to apply these poses into your morning routine.
