Prevent an afternoon slump

If the hardest time for you to stay awake at work is right after lunch, try one of these things to pep yourself up.

Stay away from greasy, sugary foods, which can wreak havoc on your blood sugar levels. Try a low glycemic index lunch that will keep your sugar levels stable so you don’t crash after you eat. A salad with protein is always a good choice.

Drink more water. Dehydration often presents as fatigue, so staying hydrated can keep you energetic and clearheaded.

Going outside for a breath of fresh air and a little vitamin D can also perk you up.
