SPEAKER: Ah, 3 o'clock-- time
for the dreaded midafternoon
slump.
Nuh-uh!
Drop that candy.
It'll give you a burst of energy
and then send you crashing down.
You need an energy makeover.
Here are three better ways
to get your family going.
Number one, get moving.
I know, you're low on energy.
So how is this time
for a workout?
Turns out that exercise actually
gives you more energy.
Even a quick 10 minutes
to get your blood pumping can
refresh you.
And the more active
you are during the day,
the better you'll
sleep at night.
Number two, drink some water.
Did you know dehydration is
a top cause of fatigue?
You might not even feel
thirsty, just sleepy.
So, instead of reaching
for that energy drink,
grab some water instead.
Number three, give yourself
a break.
And that doesn't mean burying
your face in your phone.
Close your eyes,
and breathe deeply
for a few minutes.
Read a book-- yes, the paper
kind.
Or take a few minutes
to stretch.
So go ahead.
Don't fear the afternoon slump.
Rest, drink, and move your way
to more energy.
