Chronobiologists (scientists that study the cyclic phenomena in living organisms) have found that the body’s hormone, glucose, and blood pressure levels drop every 90 minutes or so. As a result, overall capacity and energy level is compromised if we do not have a recovery period consistent with the body’s natural stress – recovery rhythm. It is recommended we do one of the following 6 recovery tips between every 90 to 120 minutes.
Top 6 Recovery Tips
1. Take 15 – 20 minute Power Nap
2. Eat some Nutritious Food
