Gallery: Jumpstart Your Day With These 7 Foods That Will Give You More Energy In The Morning

Do you have moments when, no matter how hard you try, you simply can’t seem to muster up enough energy in the mornings? There are several possible contributing factors to consider. You might not be getting enough rest at night (you need no less than six hours). You might be eating too much sugar (try replacing refined carbs with whole grains and drinking less juice). You could be drinking too much coffee (caffeine is a stimulant) or not enough water (dehydration affects energy levels). Or, you might not be exercising enough (regular exercise is great for improving sleep quality so that you're refreshed in the morning).

Another issue is you might not be eating breakfast. Or, when you do, you’re not eating the right foods. If this last point is your greatest culprit, make a personal commitment to eat a healthy breakfast starting tomorrow morning. And make sure some of the following things are on your plate.
