Picture this: it’s the middle of the week. Last night you and your squad pumped like a new oil well, waving your rag, pumping your flag, and palancing like there’s no tomorrow. Arriving home in the wee hours of the dawn, it’s now morning, you’re at the starting line of a work day that seems to stretch far past infinity, and another must-attend staff party is scheduled for tonight. Your head is pounding, throat is dry, and your energy reserves are almost depleted. How will you possibly survive this day? Follow these 5 easy tips to restore, renew, revitalise and most importantly, energise you for tonight’s pumping session!

Start your day the right way

Don’t struggle through the day unassisted. A dose of Jamieson’s B12 supplements will naturally restore your energy levels and eliminate exhaustion without the jittery feelings associated with coffee. These supplements work on a time-release basis, keeping your cells and tissues saturated constantly with its restorative nutrients. The blend of vitamins and minerals increases alertness, concentration, and most importantly, relieves fatigue.

Chug

After a night of indulging in various libations, the next day’s survival depends on consistent hydration. Alcohol is a diuretic, so replenishing lost fluids will be critical to minimising the pain of a hangover. Just before bed, drink as much water as you are able to. The next day, keep chugging water to flush toxins and stay hydrated.

Chew on this

Murphy’s Law dictates that 2-hour staff meetings will always be scheduled the day after a hard partying session. Before you try propping your eyelids open with toothpicks, we have a better solution: to increase alertness and boost your mood, chew gum or eat a piece of hard candy. Doing this will stimulate the parts of your brain yearning for slumber, helping you to engage with your environment.

Eat Light

We’ve all been on the wrong side of a lunch coma. On a day like this, avoid it at all costs. Keep your portion size small – you can’t spare the excess energy required to digest a heavy meal. Choose whole grains over bread or pasta-these simple carbs spike your blood sugar only to leave you crashing soon after. Load up on veggies like spinach, carrots and eggplant – the brighter the vegetables, the more nutrient dense.

Stimulate

What time of day do you begin craving a nap? 1.00pm? 3.00pm? Banish the afternoon blahs by scheduling your most challenging or engaging tasks for that time. It’s no secret that being interested and engaged in the task at hand will result in you feeling more alert and stimulated despite your energy reservoirs running low.
