Prevention magazine recently published an article introducing seven natural ways to help you quickly relieve fatigue and refreshing without drinking coffee and smoking.
chew a piece of gum. Chewing gum not only freshens the breath, but also wakes the brain. A study in the UK in 2012 showed that chewing gum for 15 minutes can speed up the heartbeat, increase brain blood flow, and stimulate the autonomic nerve. The researchers suggest that it is best to choose peppermint flavor.
eat more whole grain food. Carbohydrates can quickly raise blood sugar levels and make people feel tired. Using whole grains instead of refined carbohydrates can bring more energy. However, too much grain particles will stimulate the human body to secrete a large amount of serotonin, which will make people drowsy. It is recommended to have whole grain food for breakfast.
with red light. Bright light awakens the brain. Research by the lighting research center in New York shows that red light can make people clear headed. In contrast, blue light will make people calm. Therefore, it is recommended to use blue light after lunch to relax, take a lunch break, and use red light at work in the afternoon to clear your mind and improve work efficiency.
3 pm, learn something new. A University of Michigan study found that 3 p.m. is prone to drowsiness. Dr. John Caldwell, a former NASA researcher and fatigue management expert, suggested that learning something new at this time can cheer up, such as reading several work-related articles.
fiddling with flowers and plants. German research has found that people who like gardening are more energetic than sedentary people. Digging and other actions can stimulate the human body and make people more sober.
hum a little song. Solo can be exciting and the effect is almost the same as aerobic exercise. It is suggested that if you are tired at work, you might as well stand up and hum your favorite songs, which can instantly clear your mind.
rub your ears. The ears are full of meridians and acupoints. Just knead the auricles up and down with your thumb and index finger for tens of seconds.
