The benefits of a morning routine can be life-changing. A healthy morning routine has proven to increase productivity, boost mental health and elevate mood throughout the day. For teenagers who are currently in high school or planning on attending college, establishing a healthy morning routine is more important than ever before – it’s crucial for their future success.

While this list may not be exhaustive, 

Here Are 8 Ways That Having A Good Morning Routine Will Improve The Quality Of Your Life:

1. Keeps Your Brain Healthy

Establishing a morning routine that includes exercise will boost levels of BDNF (a protein found in the brain that’s crucial for boosting memory and preventing degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s). Exercise also boosts energy levels in adults, which helps them focus on daily tasks and tackle work with renewed vigor.

2. Gives You A Sense Of Accomplishment

A healthy morning routine can give you a sense of accomplishment before you even get out of bed. It can be as simple as spending 20 minutes meditating, drinking the best morning tea for energy, or working on an important project.

3. Prevents Breakouts

3-5 hours after you eat is the best time to wash your face. It is recommended to wash your face at night, but doing it in the morning will remove dirt and oil that has accumulated overnight, which can help prevent breakouts. 

4. Makes You More Productive

People who follow healthy morning routines are more productive throughout the day – specifically because they ‘seek out experiences’ rather than contentment (which reduces motivation). In addition, it was found that these types of people were more likely to take risks and follow their dreams.

5. Gives You A Boost Of Energy

Drinking a glass of cold water  is an excellent way to boost your energy levels – it kick-starts your metabolism and gives your body a jolt. The “CR Way” recommends drinking 8oz of ice-cold water when you first wake up before taking a shower or doing any other tasks.

6. Helps You Think More Clearly

Drinking two glasses of water help flush out toxins from your body that hamper brain functions. Dehydration causes fatigue, which over time can reduce creativity and problem-solving skills. It’s a good idea to drink a cup of water before working on logical tasks like writing reports for work, doing taxes, or anything that requires critical thinking.

7. Boosts Energy Levels Later In The Day

Eating healthy foods for breakfast – i.e., fiber-rich foods like oatmeal and whole fruit – boosts energy levels later in the day because they provide longer, more consistent glucose releases into the bloodstream (because it takes longer to break down). This is why it’s important not to eat sugary carbohydrates first thing in the morning if you want to maintain high energy levels throughout the day.

8. Improves Memory And Cognitive Function

People are better at remembering things when they work on memory tasks first thing in the morning (before they eat or do anything else). After 8 hours without food, the brain slows down, and people lose the ability to focus and solve problems.
