13. Limit Caffeine Intake

Limit your intake of caffeine. While caffeine is stimulating and can provide a great energy boost, overuse may lead to fatigue or interfere with your ability to get a good night’s sleep. Try drinking teas that are mildly stimulating instead of coffee. Green and black teas have less than half the amount of caffeine contained in a cup of coffee. Additionally, ginger and mint teas enhance energy levels without caffeine. Avoid drinking large amounts of espresso and gourmet coffee shop beverages, as they often contain extremely large amounts of caffeine.
