When you think of ways to wake up, most people seek out the next Starbucks to get a cup of coffee and get the day started. However, there are other things that can wake you up just as well, if not better. Also, some of them are far healthier for you than coffee. In this article, we'll dive into 10 things that can wake you up as effectively as coffee.
1 Apple
The apple offers major benefits to the human body, but fruits in general are big, too. So, why apples you may ask? The benefits of an apple are amazing, since it contains fructose which is a natural sugar that can wake you up naturally and help keep you going. It also moves slowly through the body, reaching areas where you may not wake up immediately, but once an apple in your system it'll wake you up and keep you awake. There's no crash either, which makes the benefits of the apple far outweigh those of coffee. If that wasn't enough, apples contain carbohydrates which the body needs to get moving and stay moving, and apples are also a great source of fiber. Really, why wouldn't you want to eat apples knowing that?
2 Foods
It's actually kind of funny, but you tell me a guy that won't wake up when he smells a good breakfast being made. Women aren't against it either. Food simply has a tremendous wake up power that is completely natural. For me, the smell of blueberry muffins can wake me up from a deep sleep in which I am ruling a Narnia-like kingdom, and then it keeps me up. But the interesting part is that it's not just the smell that will get you, but the food itself. Once you start getting carbohydrates and protein in your system, you can wake up pretty well. Things like eggs have Vitamin B, which you read about earlier in the article. No matter what you eat, as long as it's a healthy or nice breakfast your body will wake itself up and you'll be ready to take on the day almost immediately. No coffee is even needed. One of the best foods to wake you up, and one thing to have in your diet every day, is whole grain foods. It has Iron, B12, Carbs, and much more to keep you going.
3 Light
Seems a bit obvious, I know. But, light has a way of, shall we say, annoying people in the morning. Whether you wake up to the bright sun or the light being cut on in your room, it may be a torturous way to get up, but it's guaranteed to get you up and keep you up.
