Picture this: it's 2pm and you're struggling to stay alert and focused. Your energy has been declining since lunchtime, your head feels foggy and your eyes feel heavy.
You reach for a sugary treat, chocolate or a coffee in the hope it will give you a muchneeded boost. Afterwards, you soldier through the afternoon, slumped in your chair.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Most of us struggle with energy and focus in the afternoon, as our bodies hit a slump after lunch as part of our natural circadian rhythm. Pair this with a heavy meal at lunchtime or poor sleep and nutrition, and you've got a recipe for fatigue that can be hard to fight.
Lizzie Williamson, author of The Active Workday Advantage is on a mission to help us ditch the sugar and caffeine, and instead fight afternoon fatigue with movement.
