When is the best nap time?
The best nap time: 15 to 20 minutes.

Half an hour after lunch, fatigue came and some people even felt dizzy. Kate Scarat, a registered dietitian in the United States, suggested drinking a glass of water first and then taking a nap to "recharge" the body and brain. Studies have found that taking a nap is beneficial to lowering blood pressure, protecting the heart, enhancing memory and improving immunity. But the nap time should not be too long, just 20 ~ 30 minutes.

14: Have a cup of coffee or green tea.

For coffee lovers, this is the best time to enjoy it, which can add vitality to your afternoon without affecting your sleep at night. But it is best to drink pure coffee, add fresh milk and a little sugar, and drink less three-in-one instant coffee, which often contains trans fatty acids. It is also good to have a cup of "super-drinking" green tea at this time. Studies have shown that it can reduce the risk of various cancers.

15: bask in the sun

"A chair can kill you" is not sensational. Kate Scalat said that at this time, office workers must stand up and move. They can stroll under the office building for a few minutes, climb stairs, or do aerobic exercise and body stretching to ensure that they are full of energy in the rest of their working time. If the weather is fine, the elderly can exercise outdoors. At this time, the sun is warm, which is a good time to bask in the sun.

16: Have a cup of yogurt.

"At this time, you may feel irritable, which is related to the decrease of serotonin level, which is a substance that can make you feel peaceful." Kate said that blood sugar began to rise at 4 pm. Zhu Huilian said that at this time, the stomach has been basically emptied, and middle-aged and elderly people can add another meal, drink a cup of yogurt or eat two pieces of whole wheat bread.
