According to a study done by University of Georgia, ditching the lift and excessive amounts of caffeine can bring in renewed sense of energy in your daily life and workstyle.
The study noted climbing stairs at a regular pace was more likely to make participants feel energised than consuming 50 mg of caffeine, about the equivalent to the amount in a can of soda.
For a quick energy boost, the easiest option is to get your caffeine fix. But let's not forget the harmful effects of caffeine for our health if consumed in larger amounts. We all know that one to two cups of coffee is what we really should be consuming in a day, yet our count goes up to six and more on most days, if not regularly.
While there are different ways to kickstart your morning on an energetic note, let it not be depended on caffeine. Try the stairs instead as they seem to be the easiest bet because you don't really need to change into workout gear, shower and change back into work clothes. It is a simple but effective mode of exercise.
The study is published in the journal Physiology and Behavior.
