We often hear that the morning is the most important time of the day. Although many might disagree with this, the fact remains that the vitality of the morning is something no one can underrate. What you do when you wake in the morning and the mood you set for yourself determines your health and productivity throughout that day.
Having recognized the significance of every morning, it becomes essential for anyone who wants to improve their health, wellness and activeness through every new day to cultivate healthy habits. The habits that can set them up in a good mood in the early part of the day.
Here are some morning habits that will make a big difference in making your day full of positivity:
Hydration
Water is surely not a strange thing to anyone. Of course! We take it every day. But the question is, are we taking it the right way? If we are to answer this question from the angle of results rather than the response from people, the answer for the majority will probably be a No. We need to understand that a larger component of our make-up is water, from our blood to cells and tissues and many more. This shows that the effectiveness of human metabolism largely depends on water.
We are usually dehydrated when we wake up in the morning due to the long hours of metabolic activities we go through during the night. This lack of water leads to dizziness, weakness, unclear mind and restlessness, all of which will work against optimal health and productivity. The right way to prevent all these problems is to take water first thing every morning. This will rejuvenate your body and keep the metabolism running smoothly, and put you in the right mood to head over to other tasks waiting to be executed.
Earthing
You might find this surprising if you have always been told to wear your shoes for hygiene purposes. But it’s the absolute truth. Earthing simply means the process by which we connect our body to the earth’s surface by touching the ground with your skin, which can be your feet or any other part of your body. The land is part of our life, and maybe that’s why we have to make contact with it.
Science gave another explanation for why it is essential to practice earthing; we have ions that can be detrimental to our health in our body, which we need to transfer to somewhere else every day. Luckily, the earth’s surface is ready to serve as a saviour. So, when you touch the earth with your skin, you’ll be able to transfer those ions from your body to the ground. This simple action helps prevent health challenges like inflammation, high cortisol and insomnia. But that’s not all you can get from this habit.
The fact that you move outdoors to step on grass gives you the opportunity of bright daylight that wakes you completely and reminds you that the day is for you to achieve your goals. You’ll also experience nature’s beautiful feel and positively improve your mood. We want to remind you that it’s only a habit when you practice it every day and not once in a time. Include your morning habits and experience the difference.
Coffee
Coffee is a common beverage across the world. Many drink it, but only a few know the benefits of using it and the possible harm if they use it the wrong way. This short sentence explains why there are many mouths around this amazing beverage. Some say it’s beneficial, while the other party says you should avoid it like a plague. But the truth is that the benefit and harm depend on the knowledge of the right way to take it. Maybe you don’t know that coffee contains caffeine, antioxidants and other compounds that improve health and keep you active throughout the day.
Some of the health benefits are mood, attention, and memory improvement and reduced risks of inflammation, cancer and diabetes. However, despite all these benefits, it can also lead to restlessness, insomnia, and other problems when you take the wrong quantity or at the wrong time. This means that if you want it to work in your favour, you must consider the time and amount of coffee you consume.
The first thing you want to avoid is consuming coffee later in the evening because the caffeine will keep you awake, making it hard for you to sleep at night. You also avoid taking coffee first thing in the morning. At that time, water is what you need. Coffee can come an hour or two after you wake up. When you observe all these precautions, coffee will make your day full of energy and sound health.
In conclusion, there you have the three-morning habits you can start practising to improve your health and efficiency; drink water as you wake up, touch the ground with your bare feet and take coffee at the right proportion and time. You’ll be able to create a beautiful day with these morning routines.
