Pack healthy snacks like walnuts, almonds, raw energy bars and dark chocolate to avoid unhealthy options. Take short breaks to exercise, even if just briefly, to boost your energy levels when they start to drop during long conferences.

5. So here are 5 tips to prevent
the all-mighty conference coma

6. Stay hydrated
1.

7. Drink lots of water.
Dehydration is the leading cause of
daytime fatigue.
Keep a bottle handy and keep drinking
throughout the day.
You’re probably drinking a lot less than
you should.

8. Be cautious with quick boosts.
Too much caffeine coming from energy drinks, diet
sodas and coffee will tax your adrenals which
make your energy levels crash even more.

9. Keep it natural.
Water or unsweetened tea is best.
Green tea has a fraction of the amount of caffeine that
coffee has and will still give you a boost.

10. pack superfoods

Eat smaller meals throughout the day.

14. Stick to natural unprocessed foods.
Nuts, seeds, lean proteins and greens are best.
These are natural energy boosting & fat burning foods
which will keep you awake.

15. Have healthy snacks

16. Get your hand out of the candy bowl and don’t even
make eye contact with that cookie. We mean it!
Instead keep a survival kit in your bag.
Being prepared means you won’t slip up and have
that snack you’ll later regret.
Here’s what you could have instead:

17. Walnuts are packed with omega 3
fatty acids which is great for the
brain and keeps you focused.
Almonds are high in protein and
a handful will fill you up quickly.
Energy bars low in sugar and raw
are best if you have to skip a meal.
70% or more dark chocolate is a great
substitute for sugar. The darker the better!

18. exercise
5.

19. Exercise (even small amounts) will dramatically
increase you energy level.
Go for a run, do some push-ups, lunges, jumping jacks,
whatever, just move your butt!

20. Staying in hotel is no excuse for not exercising.
If you’re lacking motivation go on YouTube and find some
routines you can do, there are many.

21. So there you have it.
Implement these 5 quick tips and you’ll not only avoid
conference coma but you’ll also get more out of your day.
