A recent survey shows that employees generally find it difficult to stay alert soon after lunch. They experience afternoon slump most of the time. This indirectly affects the work. Consuming chips or cookies or any other packaged food is not what your brain needs at this time. To cope up with this, we suggest a list of food items that helps you to stay alert and fresh.

Citrus Fruits: Just sniff them and it will stimulate alertness. Eat fruits like orange and papaya for Vitamin C.

Dark Chocolate: Yes. Eating dark chocolate helps you feel awake and alert. There are compounds in cocoa named flavanols that produce a surge in blood flowing to the brain.

Water: It is necessary for our body to stay hydrated, including the brain. So, keep yourself hydrated and drink as much water as possible within certain period of time.

Tea or Coffee: Caffeine definitely keeps you alert and boosts concentration, performance and focus at work. 

Choose some healthy food options and say goodbye to lazy afternoon!
