1. Start with Hydration

The First Sip

Begin your day with a glass of water. Overnight, your body becomes dehydrated. Drinking water first thing in the morning rehydrates your body, kickstarts your metabolism, and can help flush out toxins.

Practical Tip:

Keep a glass or bottle of water by your bed so it’s the first thing you reach for when you wake up.

2. Embrace the Sunlight

Natural Wake-up Call

Sunlight naturally signals your body to wake up. Exposure to natural light in the morning helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle, improving sleep quality and boosting mood.
