No side effects such as heart palpitations and insomnia
When work or study loses vitality and drowsiness pours in, many people turn to caffeine-containing coffee or energy drinks. There are also many studies that coffee is beneficial to health if consumed in moderation. However, if you drink coffee frequently and exceed the recommended daily amount of caffeine (400 mg for adults), side effects such as palpitations or insomnia may occur.
If teenagers drink more than two cans of energy drinks while studying for a test, it will exceed the recommended daily caffeine intake for teenagers (125 mg). Caffeine consumption is a problem for many people who rely on coffee and energy drinks to boost their energy. The American internet media ‘The Huffington Post’ introduced a way to rejuvenate without caffeine.
A light activity
It’s not new that moving your body helps you find vitality rather than sitting still. People who hate exercise know this and choose to sit. If exercise is cumbersome, it is good to have an outdoor garden or an indoor mini garden to have a hobby where you can move your body happily. During digging, planting, and watering, soil contact with the skin reduces oxidative stress and transmits healthy energy. When planting an outdoor garden, it is helpful to touch the soil with bare hands or to step on the soil with bare feet.
Mint flavored gum
Gum not only eliminates bad breath, but also energizes the body. Chewing gum increases your heart rate, increases blood flow to your brain, and stimulates your autonomic nervous system, making you more agile. Also, choosing chewing gum with mint flavor can help you regain energy. This is because mint stimulates nerve fibers and has the same effect as washing your face with cold water.
Eating unrefined grains
The white and clean grains processed through the refining process of peeling off the outer skin serve to energize you for a short time, but quickly return to your indolent state. White flour is an example. On the other hand, raw, coarse grains create ‘real’ energy and act as an energizer. However, if you consume too much unrefined whole grains, serotonin secretion is stimulated and you may feel drowsy.
