Nutritionist reveals 'ultimate' two-hour morning routine for peak energy
Sitting in the sun at 7:15 am is the 'most powerful' part of your day
A structured morning routine is essential for maintaining physical energy and mental clarity, according to leading nutritionist Deepsikha Jain.
In a professional briefing shared on Friday, the public health expert outlined a specific two-hour schedule designed to optimise the body's natural rhythms.
Jain suggests that the way individuals spend their first 120 minutes determines their overall success, stating: “Give me 60 seconds, and I'll show you how you need to spend the first 2 hours of your day to thrive ahead and have the best energy levels.”
The primary focus of the routine is the stabilisation of the nervous system and the management of cortisol. Jain advocates for consistent wake-up times and immediate hydration to improve gut mobility.
Exposure to natural sunlight is also highlighted as a critical factor in raising alertness. To maintain these levels, she recommends a high-protein breakfast to balance blood sugar and control body fat.
The nutritionist's morning timetable
Implementing a disciplined start can significantly reduce anxiety and enhance productivity. Jain suggests following this chronological framework:
07:00 am: Wake up at a consistent time every day.
07:10 am: Drink water to wake up the body and improve digestion.
07:15 am: Sit in the sun to raise cortisol levels for better energy.
07:30 am: Sip coffee to further enhance alertness.
