Step out of your cold-weather slump with these 8 instant energy boosters. You'll be bouncing out of bed in no time, trust.
• UPGRADE #1.
FUEL UP.
Between the SGA meeting and study hall, you've only got 15 minutes to eat-so you grab a Pop-Tart and cheese curls from the vending machine and call it lunch. Bad news: Scarfing down that stuff is a surefire way to zap your zing. Why? Foods made with refined carbohydrates (think: white bread, candy, cookies) quickly break down in your system, sending your blood sugar spiking. That gives you an artificial high...only causing you to crash just a few hours later.
A BETTER BOOST: When it comes to keeping your energy levels lifted, whole foods and protein are where it's at. Try a PB&J with seven-grain bread or a power salad with leafy greens, grilled chicken, cheese, hard-boiled eggs and veggies.
• UPGRADE #2.
GET ON YOUR FEET.
Whether you're stuck in science class or crashed on the couch for a Netflix binge, you spend a ton of time sitting. Studies say all of this sedentary living is totally taxing on our energy stores.
A BETTER BOOST: Just get up and go! Instead of beelining it to your next class so you have time to check IG before the bell, take an extra lap around the hallway to stretch those legs. Your goal? Be on your feet for at least two minutes every hour. And if you've got a little time to spare, hit the pavement. A quick 20-minute walk or run in the fresh air gives you an instant lift, and the resulting mood-boosting endorphins last all day.
• UPGRADE # 3.
EXERCISE RIGHT.
