Healthy Morning Routine
what to eat in the morning for weight gain
You listen to a song early in the morning and that plays in your head throughout the day. That is the
power of morning. How you are going to end the day totally depends upon how you start your day, but
most of us begin the day totally in the wrong way. Here are a few common morning mistakes that
people
do. First, staying in dark. Do not stay in dark for long once you wake up, slide open your curtains and
let the light fill your room. Your biological clock is light-sensitive. For certain hormones to get you back into your action, you need to have a bright and morning light. You must expose yourself to morning
light immediately after you wake up. Exposure to light in the morning and blue-green light in particular
prompts the release of the hormone cortisol, which stimulates and wakes you up and inhibits the release of
melatonin, which makes you feel drowsy. So, open your windows, look up to the bright blue sky and
the
greenery around or go for a quick walk and come back. The second mistake, which we do is missing our
morning glass of warm water. Your body is in need of water after 7 8 hours of sleep. The first thing you
should do after waking up is to drink a glass of warm water. It would rehydrate your body and also
stimulates your digestive system to action. Missing a glass of water can put stress on the system because
of dehydration and also eating some solid food directly will again put lots of stress on your system. You
must drink a glass of warm water the moment you wake up, but after 15 minutes you can definitely take water with lemon, with little haldi inside, with little honey inside. That would be beautiful. Third
the
mistake we do is rushing to work. Being in hurry is a very big mistake which we do early in the
morning and this restlessness will continue throughout the day. Your state of mind in the morning can decide your energy and your state of being for the whole day. Hence you plan your morning well in advance in the previous night so that you can at least spend one hour for yourself and practice Yoga,
walking, meditation, pranayama, etc and spending time with nature. The calmness and focus will
prevail throughout the day's work. You will be energetic, more joyful, and more peaceful. The fourth
mistake, which we do early in the morning, is to check our mobile phone. 80% of smartphone users check their mobile phones within 15 minutes of waking up. This habit can disturb the peace of mind
which you have attained through sleep. We are exposing ourselves to an overload of information the moment we wake up. This could cause more stress to your mind. Also, exposure to the bright light of a phone can affect your eyes because of the darkness of the atmosphere. The blue light of the mobile phone
can cause reddening of your eyes and dryness, so avoid using your phone at least for one hour after
waking up. The fifth mistake that we do is skipping our breakfast. Consuming more calories early in the morning may reduce the risk of heart attack, diabetes, and more circulatory problems. Skipping breakfast can also make you eat more throughout the day and also can put your system under stress.
Your body has a high absorbing capacity early in the morning. Hence, having breakfast within two hours of waking up can help your body absorb all the nutrients efficiently. And don't forget to include proteins in every meal including breakfast as protein is linked to having less body fat, but has lots of other benefits. Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are very good sources of breakfast protein. Morning makes a foundation of your day. Make sure that you build your foundation strong. Avoid all these silly mistakes which we do early in the morning and begin your day with happiness and peace.
