You Should Have 1 Of These 5 Drinks When You’re Tired
Try one of these drinks to help boost your energy levels next time you’re tired and struggling to function normally.
Lemon water can not only help your digestion but also boost your energy levels.
This is because lemons are high in potassium, which allows more oxygen to get to the brain and helps it function better.
Beet juice is another good option, as it is rich in nitrates which may increase blood flow to the brain.
Green tea has been used to boost energy levels for centuries. It contains caffeine and the amino acid L-Theanine.
This amino acid can decrease anxiety and increase dopamine production.
Berry smoothies are great for long-term brain health, as they’re rich in antioxidants that protect the cells from damage.
Hot chocolate can also help to boost energy levels.
This is because cacao is rich in flavanols that can help boost cognitive function. It’s best to use dark chocolate.
