On the show 6/9, we talked about Breakfast Foods to get you out of bed!
If you’re having trouble waking up in the
morning, here are 8 foods to get your brain going.
1. A spoonful of sweetness. A tad of sugar in
your coffee or honey in your smoothie stimulates
the release of acetylcholine, a brain chemical
that enhances memory. But don’t overdo it or you’ll soon feel drowsy.
2. A whole-wheat bagel. Your primo brain fuel is
glucose, the basic building block of carbs. So
after a night of fasting, your brain is on red alert for a carb fix.
3. Lox on that bagel. Salmon contains a fat known
as DHA that comprises 97% of the omega-3 fatty
acids in your brain. And you need lots of those
to get your mental decks cleared for action --
part of DHA’s job is to carry away cellular waste
products that make your brain feel sluggish.
4. Spicy V8. Hot and spicy foods amp up blood
flow, which is like warming your engines. If
tomatoes are too acidic for you in the morning,
toss a tablespoon of peeled fresh ginger into hot
tea or a cold smoothie for a similar rush.
5. Soy. It contains compounds called isoflavones
that help clear your mind (and fight memory loss
too). Drink a glass of calcium-fortified soymilk,
pour it over whole-grain cereal, or toss some
chopped tofu into scrambled eggs.
6. Ice water. A small glass of frosty H2O will
get the blood pumping. The cold shock forces your
system to defend its normal temperature, slightly boosting your metabolism.
7. Coffee. But of course! Caffeine helps
alertness by dampening a chemical called
adenosine, which otherwise blocks energy-boosting
brain chemicals. As a result, you think faster,
drive better, and remember more.
8. If all else fails: Place a tin of
ginger-flavored Altoids -- or a few Red Hots or a
packet of Listerine strips -- beside your alarm
clock. When the buzzer goes off, pop one or two
of any of them into your mouth before hitting the
snooze button. It’s virtually impossible to sleep
with that “curiously strong” taste waking up your mouth!
