TIPS TO REMEMBER

  • People tend to take more shortcuts when they are tired or stressed
  • Distractions cause more accidents than any other factor
  • Eating right is important
  • Breakfast gives you the right energy boost to start up your day
  • The type of food eaten determines the energy levels that one can maintain during the day
  • Avoid energy drinks and high sugar foods because they lead to blood sugar highs and lows
  • Blood sugar highs and lows leads to mood changes all day. One minute you are alert and as soon as your supply runs low, you feel drowsy and weak
  • Avoid cookies, pastries, candy bars because they lead to erratic blood sugar levels
  • Maintain blood sugar on even level by eating whole grain carbohydrates, cereals, breads or fruits
  • If you feel fatigued, stop work.
