If your body has crashed, and you can’t snap out of it, we have a few easy ways to jump start your body. Now, these suggestions are great to help make you more alert … these ideas will not give you a caffeine-like rush - just wake you up.

1 - Aromatherapy: have a peppermint. Or a cup of mint tea. Or use a little mint lip balm. The smell of mint stimulates your brain. Also, great for stress relief.

2 - If it’s not raining, step outside. 15 minutes of sunshine triggers your brain into action, releasing serotonin, the “feel good” hormone.

3 - Turn off the television. It is a definite energy zapper.

4 - A short walk gets your blood moving faster and wakes up the circulatory system. Another good stress reliever.
