A cup of coffee first thing in the morning is one of the most popular ways of starting the day, and the caffeine in that first cup of coffee can make you feel more alert and ready to face the challenges of the day ahead. We all know what it is like to get back to our desks or other work places after lunch and to suddenly feel lethargic. It’s not just your imagination, you are experiencing what is commonly called ‘the post lunch dip’, which is actually nothing to do with lunch at all. The bodies “circadian rhythm” (often known as our body clock) has high and lows throughout the day and night, and one of the lows is around 2.00pm; hence the ‘post lunch dip’. A cup or two of coffee is not just an excuse to put off the task in hand!
The caffeine in your coffee helps to restore levels of alertness, improving performance and mood, just what we all need to get through the second half of the working day… go on, grab your Co-Go Fix, I’m sure the boss won’t mind!
