If your morning routine revolves around just leaving for work in a hurry, then you should know that these habits can contribute to wrecking your health. Not to mention, you will feel tired throughout the day thinking about going to bed.

According to health professionals, having a series of unhealthy morning rituals is only going to add to your everyday stress and develop many physical and mental issues.

So, here we have some better ways for you to kickstart all your mornings. Read on to know more about the morning rituals for you to build healthy everyday habits to keep you active throughout the day.

  • Reach out for your water bottle

As you already know that around 60% of your body is made up of water. And it is one of the essential nutrients your body needs to function properly.

Through urine, bowel movements, sweat, and breath, your body loses water during the day as well as at night.

Drinking water first thing in the morning helps your body to flush out toxins and balance its lymphatic system. It will also boost your immune system and reduce your chances of getting sick. And adding a lemon slice to your glass of water can help you keep your skin healthy and achieve your weight goals.

You should also keep in mind that not drinking enough water can lead to dehydration, leading to many detrimental health effects.

So, as soon as you get up, drinking water could be the first step of your morning routine.

  • Make a perfect cup of tea 

You’ll be surprised to know that nearly 159 million Americans drink tea for their morning. And can you blame them? Drinking a hot cup of tea is a perfect, not to mention, delicious way to start your day.

In fact, studies have shown that tea has some exceptional health benefits. Some of them are mentioned below.

  • Help in fighting off free radical damage

You should know that excessive levels of free radicals in the body can end up damaging your body cells. Ignore them, and the uncharged molecules can even lead to severe health problems such as diabetes, fluctuating blood pressure, and worse of all, cancer. Regularly drinking green or black tea can supply your body with a load of antioxidants in the form of polyphenols. Believe it or not, teas are 10 times richer in antioxidants than fruits and vegetables.

  • Fires up energy levels like nothing else

 If you feel really lazy getting out of bed, then drinking tea can help you with that. The caffeine content in the tea gives your energy levels a tremendous boost, which is undoubtedly a natural stimulant. The process ends up enhancing the firing of neurons in your system, making sure that you stay active and charged up all day long.

  • Modulates your immune system

A strong immune system determines that you lead a happier and healthier life. And drinking mushroom tea in the morning can help you with that. For this, it would be best to go for the one that is extracted from using 100% fruiting bodies of Agaricus Blazei Murill. This is because it helps you mitigate stress, recover from Hepatitis B, improves insulin resistance in the case of diabetic patients, and, best of all, fights cancer. Also, talk to your doctor about taking probiotic supplements that can help maintain your reproductive health and gut health. Don’t hesitate to ask about lifestyle changes that you can make to prevent future problems.

  • Boosts your brain function:

 You’ll be surprised to know that drinking tea first thing in the morning can actually make you smarter. Tea contains a mix of L-theanine and caffeine, which is responsible for triggering your brain to produce alpha waves. This, in turn, allows your brain to function efficiently, allowing you to focus and remember things.

  • Put on uplifting music

Don’t you feel incredibly energized and feel incredibly charged after listening to rock music. Now imagine starting your day with your favorite playlist. Feels awesome. Right?

There is this thing about music, it directly impacts your mood, and listening to an uplifting playlist can kickstart your day with positive vibes and charge you emotionally.

According to a recent survey, people who listen to music first thing in the morning feel motivated throughout the day.

So, as soon as you get up, all you need to do is tune into your favorite or random playlist and listen to music as your morning ritual.

  • Meditate and Exercise

Last but definitely not least, meditating and exercising as soon as you get up can help you stay healthy from the inside out.

Meditating, for instance, allows you to reconnect with yourself and makes you aware of your surroundings. It also helps you clear your mind, keep stress at bay and allows you to focus better throughout the day.

And as far as exercising is concerned, there is no reason why you shouldn’t do it. It helps your body to function properly. This will help you to stay active without making you feel lethargic throughout the day. Not to mention, it will also help in keeping your body weight in check.

Thanks to online media, you can get your hands on exercise tutorials where you can learn how to do it step-by-step.

  • Have a skincare routine

Practicing skincare in the morning allows you to prepare your skin for the day and helps in removing any makeup residue from the previous day.

Also, your skin is really vulnerable right after you get up. This means that there’s a good chance of achieving maximum results from cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing.

So, before you hop into the shower and practice your skincare routine and pamper your skin.

In the end, 

Many people don’t realize the importance of morning rituals until they have one. So, use the ones mentioned above and stay healthy and active throughout the day.
