What you do first thing in the morning could put you well
on your way if you get it right, according to the mountains of
advice and research into how our bodies wake up. Here’s a
roundup of the best advice on how to spend your first few hours
of every day:
Don’t drink coffee
Our bodies naturally produce a hormone called cortisol,
which makes us feel more awake. But the caffeine in coffee can
interfere with our body’s cortisol production, and over time this
can lead us to become more dependent on caffeine and produce
less cortisol naturally — so save it until after around 10 a.m.
Don’t stay in bed
Exercise is always part of the answer when the question is
about being healthier/happier/more productive. But more
specifically, pre-breakfast exercise can have its own benefits. A
study in Belgium found that exercising before breakfast can help
you lose weight by burning more fat than you would later on in
the day.
...but do eat cake
Saving the best until last: eat cake: a study of 193 obese
adults found that eating cookies or chocolate as part of breakfast
stems craving sweet foods later on in the day. In other words,
incorporating cake into your morning routine can actually make
you healthier for the rest of the day. It’s science; don’t question
it.
