Brush your teeth
Want to feel refreshed and energized instantly?
The remains of sugar or flour in the mouth and give us an unpleasant feeling of lethargy. While brushing your teeth and flossing happens, a fresh and bright smile also improves your attitude!
Be careful with caffeine
Although it has beneficial properties in suitable doses, abuse of coffee causes mental wear and tends to increase sugar intake during the day. Try red or green drink tea after eating, although they have less caffeine than coffee, they contain substances that increase the nervous brain chemistry, providing more physical energy.
