No one enjoys the dreaded 2 p.m. “crash” of the day. Instead of pouring yourself yet another cup of coffee, try snacking on these foods to keep you alert and at your best all day long:
1. Nuts – from almonds, walnuts and pecans, these nuts help keep your focus in line
2. Carrots and hummus – known to improve memory and your mood
3. Water – hydration is key (especially after those three cups of coffee you’ve already consumed)
4. Green tea – a healthier (yet still caffeinated) alternative to coffee
5. Berries – the darker the berry, the more productivity-boosting ingredients you consume
