Foods that wake you up in the morning [last 4]

5. Soy
It contains compounds called isoflavones, which help clear the mind (and struggle with the loss of memory, too). Drink a glass of calcium-fortified soymilk, pour it over whole grain cereal or a bet, some sliced tofu in an omelet.

6. Ice water
Little frosty glass of H2O to get your blood pumping. In cold shock force your system to protect its normal temperature, which gives your metabolism a slight increase.

7. Coffee
But, of course! Caffeine helps alertness by wetting chemical called adenosine that otherwise block the energy activation of brain chemicals. As a result, you think faster, drive better and remember more. Just know your jitter threshold - I get too wired can undermine effectiveness.

8. If all else will not work
Post a tin of ginger theme Altoids, a few Red Hots, or a package of Listerine strips next to your alarm. When the buzzer is turned off, pop one or two of them in the mouth before pushing the snooze button. It is almost impossible to sleep in that "curiously strong" flavor to wake up your mouth!

In addition, facing the day - we all must, eventually - the real benefit of switching to the "on" in the morning is that your brain starts buzzing, absorbing the information and a sense of news. And life becomes a pupil can do as RealAge 2.5 years younger.
