Boost Your Brain with Your Morning Routine

Your morning routine matters! And not just for how your day goes, but what you do to begin your day lends itself to optimizing brain health and function.  Here are two things that we never miss when starting our day:

Hydration is crucial to your morning routine, replenishing the fluids naturally lost while you were asleep. Not only will a glass of water kickstart your day with a boost of energy, but you’ll improve your focus and mental clarity as well. Skipping that morning H2O will affect your mental and physical well-being as dehydration would: a drop in cognitive function and mood, while increasing irritability and feelings of anxiousness.

Movement is another ‘must have’ in your morning arsenal – doesn’t have to be a full workout that pushes you to your limits, but 30 to 45 minutes jogging, walking, yoga, or even just light stretching can offer health benefits for your mind and body! A walk around the block – especially when the sun is out for that extra boost – works to improve cognitive function while reducing depression, irritability and anxiety.
