Hydration Tips	Benefits
Drink 1-2 glasses of water upon waking	Rehydrates the body, stimulates digestion
Add lemon or apple cider vinegar	Boosts metabolism, improves digestion
Try Gulpit’s Ginger Honey Splash	Combines hydration with a natural metabolism boost

Hydrating with plain water is essential, but adding a bit of lemon or apple cider vinegar can increase the benefits. For a convenient twist, you can try our Ginger Honey Splash shot in the morning to add some natural zest to your hydration routine while providing additional digestive benefits. Ginger is known for its metabolism-boosting properties, and the honey gives you a touch of natural sweetness to start your day right.

2. Incorporate a Short, Energizing Workout

Exercise is an effective way to rev up your metabolism, but you don’t need an extensive workout session to see results. Even a quick 10-15 minute session of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or brisk walking can make a big impact.

Workout Type	Duration	Benefits
HIIT	10 mins	Increases calorie burn, boosts metabolism
Brisk Walking	15 mins	Low-impact, improves circulation
Bodyweight Exercises	15 mins	Builds lean muscle, enhances metabolism

Studies show that morning exercise keeps your metabolic rate elevated for hours after you’ve finished. Plus, it primes your body for the day and improves your mood. Don’t forget to follow up your workout with hydration—perhaps another shot of our fav Mint Cool Refresher for an added cooling effect and hydration boost.

3. Have a Protein-Rich Breakfast

A protein-packed breakfast can provide the fuel your body needs to power through the morning, while also boosting your metabolism. Protein takes more energy to digest than carbs or fats, making it a great choice to rev up your metabolic rate.

Breakfast Options	Protein Content	Metabolic Benefits
Greek yogurt with nuts/seeds	15-20g	Sustains energy, boosts metabolism
Eggs with avocado	12-15g	Provides satiety, supports muscle health
Smoothie with protein powder	20-25g	Easy to digest, increases calorie burn

Protein breakfasts help stabilize blood sugar levels, keeping you feeling full and reducing the urge to snack on unhealthy foods later in the day. Try adding a metabolism-boosting ingredient, like a dash of cinnamon, to your breakfast to add a natural boost to your morning fuel.

4. Get Some Morning Sunlight

Exposure to sunlight in the morning helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which is tied to your metabolism and energy levels. Sunlight signals your body to wake up, increases the release of cortisol (the hormone that helps you get moving), and helps your body produce vitamin D, which is essential for metabolic health.

Sunlight Activity	Duration	Benefits
Sun exposure	10 mins	Regulates circadian rhythm
Outdoor stretching	10 mins	Enhances flexibility, boosts mood
Walking in sunlight	15 mins	Increases vitamin D, supports bone health

Try stepping outside and taking in the sun for 10-15 minutes while you stretch or enjoy a quiet moment with a shot of Amla Immunity Boost for added wellness benefits. Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is rich in Vitamin C, which complements your body’s natural detox processes.

5. Practice Deep Breathing or Meditation

Stress can have a major impact on metabolism, and high levels of cortisol can slow down metabolic functions. Starting your day with a few minutes of deep breathing or meditation can significantly reduce stress levels, helping to keep cortisol in check and setting a positive tone for the day.

Technique	Duration	Benefits
Deep breathing exercises	5 mins	Reduces stress, oxygenates the body
Meditation	10 mins	Balances cortisol, improves focus
Yoga stretches	10 mins	Enhances relaxation, supports flexibility

Deep breathing and meditation improve blood circulation, support digestion, and help you feel more centered. Pair this morning mindfulness practice with our Lemon Zest Shot to awaken your senses and start your day feeling refreshed and balanced.

Subtle Boosts Throughout the Day

While a well-planned morning routine sets the stage for a productive day, maintaining a high metabolism requires consistent fuel. Here are a few additional tips to keep your energy levels steady without overwhelming your system:

• Stay Hydrated: Keep sipping water throughout the day to keep your digestive system active and metabolism steady.
• Snack Wisely: Reach for protein-rich or fiber-filled snacks, like nuts, seeds, or a quick Gulpit Energy Shot when you need a pick-me-up.
• Stretch Regularly: Take a few minutes to stretch if you’re working at a desk. It gets your blood flowing, giving a slight metabolic boost.
