How to Build a Morning Wellness Routine
1 Hydrate immediately upon waking
Start your day by drinking 250-500ml of room temperature water within the first 5 minutes of waking. This helps rehydrate your body after 7-8 hours without fluids and kickstarts your metabolism. Keep a glass of water by your bedside to make this effortless. Add a pinch of sea salt or lemon if desired for enhanced hydration.
2 Take your daily adaptogen support
Take 1-2 capsules of VYTRO ASHWAGANDHA+ Premium Adaptogen Complex with your morning water. This traditional herb may help support your body's natural response to daily stressors. Take consistently at the same time each morning for best results. Always follow the recommended dosage on the packaging and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
3 Practice 5 minutes of mindful breathing
Sit comfortably and focus on deep, controlled breathing for 5 minutes. Try the 4-7-8 technique: inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7, exhale for 8. This simple practice can help centre your mind and prepare you mentally for the day ahead. Use a meditation app or simply count your breaths if you're new to mindfulness.
4 Engage in gentle movement
Spend 10-15 minutes doing light stretching, yoga, or a short walk. This helps increase blood flow, reduce morning stiffness, and naturally boost energy levels. Focus on movements that feel good rather than intense exercise. Simple neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, and gentle spinal twists are perfect for beginners.
5 Prepare a nutritious breakfast
Create a balanced breakfast including protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. This could be porridge with nuts and berries, eggs with avocado on wholemeal toast, or a protein smoothie. Eating within 2 hours of waking helps stabilise blood sugar and provides sustained energy for your morning activities.
6 Support post-exercise recovery (if training)
If your morning includes a workout, mix 1 scoop of VYTRO BCAA REGEN+ 4:1:1 Powder in 300-400ml of water during or after exercise. The leucine-focused formula may help support muscle recovery. The refreshing Lemon & Lime flavour makes it an enjoyable way to stay hydrated during your training session.
