How to Incorporate Energy Drinks into Your Daily Life_2

Support your body with an extra jolt of morning energy and help curb that afternoon slump. Put a little pep in your step before a workout or look alive during a late-night dinner with friends. Here’s everything to know about how to boost energy with an energy drink.

Get a Mid-Morning Boost

We get it—the first thing you want to do in the morning may be to reach for caffeine to help you get moving. But, not so fast. You might not be able to get the most out of your morning drink this early in the day. Cortisol is usually at its peak upon waking, so you might feel energetic and not need energy drink.

Not to mention, caffeine can raise cortisol levels, and when they’re already naturally high, it may lead to extra stress. That’s why it’s recommended that you consume any energy drinks between 9-11:30 a.m. (or a couple hours after waking) when your cortisol levels have lowered, and you can get the energy-boosting effect from your drink rather than the stress-inducing one.                                                   

Tackle the Afternoon Slump

So, your lunch gave you a quick burst of energy but now you’re left checking the clock every 10 minutes wondering how to boost energy when tired at work. The afternoon slump usually occurs because our bodies produce less cortisol throughout the day, which could make us naturally feel less energized and alert by the afternoon.

Now the question remains—is there a way to tackle the afternoon slump? That’s where energy drinks can help. If taken between 1:30-3:30 p.m., they can help give your body an extra boost before the slump occurs. Just sip on your favorite flavor and see the difference it can make in your day.

Kick Your Workout Into High Gear

After a long day of work, we understand if exercising is the last thing you want to do. But, not every workout feels its best when your stamina is low. Luckily, sugar-free energy drinks can help support athletic performance. This can be especially true when they’re consumed alongside XS Muscle Multiplier.

Whether you need a boost, an energy drink can help give you the stamina you need to power through.
