Get some Sun
Sun is the best source for Vitamin D and vitamin D is great for energy. Be sure to wear sunscreen. If you can’t get outside, open up the blinds or curtains and let the sunshine through.
Don’t Overeat
Especially at lunch when your in the middle of what is probably a busy day. Keep your lunch to under 500 calories. Eat a healthy snack in the afternoon. Keep some type of nuts handy, preferably unsalted Almonds. At the least make sure your snack has fiber and protein, not just for energy but to keep you full.
Go For A Walk
Especially if you are woking in an office with little natural light. Taking a walk or hike during lunch after eating can rejuvenate you by increasing blood flow and adding oxygen to your body to help finish your day strong.
Take a power nap
