5 Ways To Feel Energized Without Coffee

Once you've become hooked on coffee it can be hard to go a day without it. But this acidic and bloating beverage is not the only solution to your mid-day drowsiness. Try one of these methods for a healthier and cheaper option than your usual trip to Starbucks!

1. Bang Energy Drinks

Don't underestimate this new popular drink- it has no sugar or calories, making it one of the healthiest energy drinks on the market. While it is lacking sugar, this does not mean it is lacking caffeine. Bang energy drinks contain immense amounts of caffeine- over 300mg per can! If you need a major boost of energy before a workout or a long day ahead, try Bang energy drinks.

2. Eat more apples

If you're looking for a lighter energy boost, try eating an apple! While apples do not have any caffeine in them, they have a decent amount of natural sugars which will wake up your brain and provide a natural boost. Besides this, apples are much more beneficial to our daily diets than coffee.

3. Drink ice cold water

Preferably first thing in the morning, drink a large glass of cold water to alert your mind and flush any toxins in your body. I find that drinking cold water, especially on an early morning, is a good way to stimulate your brain.

4. Try drinking green or black tea.

For a healthier alternative, still with decent amounts of caffeine, opt for a glass of iced or hot tea. Tea is much better for your digestion and even has calming effects on people. Iced green tea is perfect for a hot day, without the bloating and headaches that come with drinking coffee.

5. Take a power nap

Sometimes when you feel you're losing energy, it may be because your body needs a little more rest. There's nothing wrong with a mid-day power nap to keep you going. Whether it's 10 minutes to an hour, resting your body and mind is always beneficial.

Keep a little extra money in your pocket with these cheaper and healthier alternatives to coffee. No longer are the days of headaches, bloating and cravings for Starbucks overrated beverages. Keep yourself motivated and energized with these five alternatives!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
