There are things that you can do each morning that can help set yourday on the right course. Your workday is, after all, incredibly long, so whyrisk starting off on the wrong foot? Here are 3 of the worst things you can doeach morning. Break them, and we promise you’ll have a better, healthierday.

    1. Hitting the snooze button. First things first: Hitting the snooze button.Why add unnecessary stress toyour day? Try going to sleep a little earlier to avoid having to hit the snoozebutton, or keep your alarm clock (or phone) far enough away from your bedthat you can still hear it but will have to get out of bed to turn it off.

    2. Steaming up your shower.Sure, a hot shower feels great when you wake up.It’s nice and relaxing — but that’s actually the problem. The heat istelling your nervous system that it’s time for your muscles to relax and yourheart rate to slow down, which can make you even more tired.

    3.Brushing your teeth rightafter you eat. Brushing your teeth after breakfast,especially if you’ve had some drink like coffee or fruit, can actually pushsugars to the surface of your teeth. In addition to brushing before you eat,drink a glass of water right after your meal to help your mouth feel a littlecleaner. Can’t stand the thought of brushing your teeth before breakfast? Wait30 to 60 minutes after eating to decrease tooth enamel wear.
