Overcoming a mid-afternoon slump is a challenge millions of office workers across the world face every day.
While the Spanish have siestas and some employers actively encourage napping, the majority of us are forced to brave two-thirty-itis as best we can.
But instead of taking afternoon lethargy for granted, a recent Guardian article is encouraging office workers to fight back by following these diet related suggestions:
Big breakfast - load up on whole-grain cereal and toast as well as small serve of dried fruit
Drink up - drinking lots of water will help maintain your ability to concentrate
Feeling fruity - encourage colleagues to pitch into a kitty to fund a fruit bowl for the office kitchen
Forget the fat - keep high-fat foods to a minimum and stick to a well-balanced lunch
Take it outside - get away from your desk at lunchtime to stretch your legs
Stock up - keep a few healthy snacks within easy reach so you stay away from the snack machine
