When you attend a conference
does your energy level look like this?

Sure, maybe the
speaker is killing you
with his PowerPoint

but chances are your
energy is all over the place
because of what you’re
putting into your body.

So here are 5 tips to prevent
the all-mighty conference coma

Stay hydrated
1.

Drink lots of water.
Dehydration is the leading cause of
daytime fatigue.
Keep a bottle handy and keep drinking
throughout the day.
You’re probably drinking a lot less than
you should.

Be cautious with quick boosts.
Too much caffeine coming from energy drinks, diet
sodas and coffee will tax your adrenals which
make your energy levels crash even more.

Keep it natural.
Water or unsweetened tea is best.
Green tea has a fraction of the amount of caffeine that
coffee has and will still give you a boost.

pack superfoods
2.

Super foods are an excellent sources of vitamins, minerals,
amino acids, enzymes, phytonutrients-rich green plants &
algae (which is a good thing).
Every health food store will have a variety of options that is
right for you.
One of our favorites is:

eat smaller meals
3.

Don’t even think about having that big pasta dish
for lunch. It will only make things worse.
Eat smaller meals throughout the day.
This will keep your blood sugar stabilized.

Stick to natural unprocessed foods.
Nuts, seeds, lean proteins and greens are best.
These are natural energy boosting & fat burning foods
which will keep you awake.

Have healthy snacks
4.

Get your hand out of the candy bowl and don’t even
make eye contact with that cookie. We mean it!
Instead keep a survival kit in your bag.
Being prepared means you won’t slip up and have
that snack you’ll later regret.
Here’s what you could have instead:

Walnuts are packed with omega 3
fatty acids which is great for the
brain and keeps you focused.
Almonds are high in protein and
a handful will fill you up quickly.
Energy bars low in sugar and raw
are best if you have to skip a meal.
70% or more dark chocolate is a great
substitute for sugar. The darker the better!

exercise
5.

Exercise (even small amounts) will dramatically
increase you energy level.
Go for a run, do some push-ups, lunges, jumping jacks,
whatever, just move your butt!

Staying in hotel is no excuse for not exercising.
If you’re lacking motivation go on YouTube and find some
routines you can do, there are many.

So there you have it.
Implement these 5 quick tips and you’ll not only avoid
conference coma but you’ll also get more out of your day.
