7 mistakes in the morning routine - you should avoid these things

The morning routine greets you every day. Fold a cup of coffee, fold bed linen and the first mistakes have crept in - at least that's what experts say. You can read here which mistakes you might make every morning.

Error in the morning routine - it starts with the bed

Shaking out the bedclothes tomorrow and putting them together neatly is one of them. You are not alone in this. However, you are doing your health no good.

• The bedroom is one of the wettest places in your home. If you close the bedspread in the morning, the moisture created during the night can not escape from the blanket or the mattress due to sweating and breathing.
• The moisture can cause mold in the bedroom. The mattress and duvet should therefore also be well ventilated.
• Bacteria also collect on your sheets and in your mattress. Like mites, they feel comfortable in this environment and thrive, which you certainly don't want.
• Leave your bedding spread out better on your bed and ensure good air and light conditions.

The morning coffee

If you are a coffee drinker, you are sure that without coffee you will not wake up properly and quickly enough.

• But that's a fallacy. Our organism does not need caffeine. In the biological process, cortisol is generated in you. This awakens and reaches its zenith just in the morning hours. This makes you fitter in a healthy and natural way.
• In any case, you should only start drinking coffee between nine and ten o'clock. Only then will the cortisol level drop in you. In addition, coffee works longer with a lower cortisol level.
• You should also pay attention to different acids when making coffee. Like the acidity in orange juice, this can cause heartburn.
• So if you drink coffee, it should be mixed with water and even better with some milk.

Have breakfast with coffee and orange juice

Basically, orange juice is a healthy drink due to the high content of vitamin C.

• Hesperidin is also contained in the oranges. Hesperidin has a positive effect on your cardiovascular system. It is forgotten that the juice contains a lot of stomach-affecting acid.
• But not only the stomach is strained. The esophagus and teeth are also affected. Here the acid attacks the protective lining of the esophagus and the tooth enamel.
• At breakfast time in the morning, the human organism and digestive system is not yet ready to process the fruit acid at full speed. So don't be surprised if you get heartburn or even nausea attacks. So it is better to wait with the fresh juice until the body is at operating temperature.
• A grape juice or other low acid juices are more suitable for the morning breakfast. Citrus fruits are therefore out of the question here. Banana, peach or pear juice are much better here. Milk is optimal, but not juice, because milk binds the acid and protects mucous membranes. Milk also contains calcium and healthy protein.

Fill up the car in the morning

If you are traveling by car, you may want to use the time to start the day with things to do.

• As a driver, this includes a full tank. A fact that is often overlooked is that petrol stations adjust their prices downwards in the evenings.
• A study by the ADAC showed that you have to pay up to six cents more per liter at some petrol stations between 6 a.m. and 6 a.m. According to the study, the best time to refuel is between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Breakfast to go on the way to work

Many have breakfast on the way to work or university.

• Since this is more of a "side-by-side process", you will not notice when you have ingested too much food. The feeling of satiety only arises with larger amounts of food. Usually only when you consume a lot more food than you really need.
• In addition, breakfast is no longer a start of the day that you enjoy with pleasure. A breakfast - even a less healthy one in a good atmosphere is still better than one that you wrap yourself in without having rest.

The elevator only seems to accelerate the way to the office

A study from Canada found that the elevator is not always the fastest way to the office.

• The solution is that you will definitely be able to walk to your workplace faster, at least up to the sixth floor in the morning.
• The factors of waiting and often stopping the elevator in the morning have a major impact on a longer ride.
• The stairs offer you advantages not only in terms of time. A few steps in the morning stimulate the circulation. Climbing stairs is always sportier and therefore healthier if you are not subject to any physical restrictions.

A and O is time management

Have your mental resources and powers ready for important tasks. If you need your full concentration and attention, reserve the first time in the office.

• Your mental and physical energy will decrease during the day. Then it will become increasingly difficult for you to plan and act well. It is therefore advantageous to schedule and assign the individual time sequences for certain activities in advance.
• Allow yourself time and rest and make sure that nobody interrupts your thinking and structuring process. Otherwise you cannot use your most productive time and performance adequately.
• Tip: An Excel table with priority assignment helps you to list, tick off or even move the individual points - should this be necessary. Enter times for your activities there.
