Oman health: Benefits of being an early riser

You remember the old adage, “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise”? According to studies there are many benefits of being an early riser which all together culminates into one thing — you live a healthy life with high energy and a positive mood.
Helps to Have a Healthier Diet
Those who are late risers often skip the most important meal of the day, i.e. breakfast. Skipping breakfast is not good for our health as our body needs the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Any meal taken after a skipped breakfast tends to make us overeat as our body goes in starvation mode. Early rising improves one’s concentration and also lowers the cholesterol levels.
Enhances Your Productivity
Early risers swear by this. They say that waking up early gives them lot of time. Daily distractions are less during the early hours of the day. Those who have had a good night’s sleep brim with more energy and efficiency helping them do their work in a better way.
You Get More Time to Exercise
Time is the biggest constraint and perhaps one of the biggest excuses that we make when it comes to exercising. Have you ever thought that how easily you can fit in exercising in your daily regime if you wake up early? Early rising also reduces your chances of missing out on your workouts. Exercising in the morning gives you that energy boost and also helps you sleep better.
Helps you to Sleep Well
Early risers often live a very routine life. Mostly those who wake up early go to bed early and follow a set pattern. Sleep experts say that those who follow a proper sleep routine lead a much healthier life than others.
Real Stress Buster
Those who constantly feel depressed or have bouts of anxiety or panic attacks should be an early riser as it reduces the stress level and helps to feel good. [email protected]
