Afternoon time is often the low-point of our energy. At this time, food is being digested, the body is in relaxed mode and fatigue can occur quickly. Ayurveda considers this to be a Pitta-dominated time. During this period, digestion becomes stronger, but lethargy also sets in quickly. If this happens to you too, then adopt some easy habits. By doing this the rest of the day can be made very active and productive. Now the question is, what to do to remove the laziness that comes after lunch? Let us know about this-
Ways to get rid of laziness after lunch
– First of all pay attention to your lunch. Take light and balanced food. Eat a little less than your hunger. Dal, vegetables, rice or roti and some ghee is a good combination. Taking curd in small quantities is beneficial. Eating too many spices or sweets can cause your energy to drop quickly. Do not scroll on mobile immediately after eating. Give the body time to digest.
– Another easy habit is to take a light walk for 10-15 minutes after eating food. This is called vihar after meals in Ayurveda. No need to walk fast, just walk slowly. This improves digestion, increases blood flow and the mind feels fresh. Heaviness and swelling of the stomach also reduces. A short walk in the corridor in the office can also work. After the walk you can drink 2-3 sips of water, but not more. This small activity brings the body back into active gear and reduces lethargy.
– The third habit is the use of natural herbal energy boosters. No need to depend on caffeine. You can take 2-3 sips of cumin-water or mint-hot water. This reduces bloating and keeps metabolism stable. Taking deep breaths for 2 minutes alerts the brain and increases oxygen flow. Even a small amount of warm lemon water stabilizes the energy dip. Light massage on the head and neck also increases alertness and reduces eye fatigue.
– Right food, short walks and natural herbal boosters are enough to maintain afternoon energy. These three small improvements increase your productivity, keep your mind fresh and make your work smoother.
