According to SAMHSA (The substance abuse and mental health service administration), the issues have reported and said that energy drinks are a great concern for health.
Also, you have to aware that a lot of companies advertise that it has been contained the same amount of caffeine which you get in a cup of coffee. My suggestion is, take some healthy juice and some other thing to boost energy levels instead of energy drinks.
3. Should be active during the working days
It must be hard to find time for physical activity during work hours. As all, we know that work could be incredibly busy and pretty stressful days. As I said earlier that owning a sedentary lifestyle can cause you a lot of health trouble. So, it very important to do some physical activity throughout the day. CEO of Barton publishing Joe Barton has given some great tips to balance a sedentary lifestyle in your own company or office work.
According to Forbes, Joe Barton mentioned that taking each hour break for five to 10 minutes, it would be very powerful. At the time all you have to do is get up and walk around for at least five minutes. You can do some other activities such as jumping jacks if it’s possible to do some push-up, and others. in this you become energetic and your metabolism runs very smoothly.
4. Make meetings (and phone calls) active.

I would like to say that it is a great way to improve alertness, also you will have better attention to the calls. In the meeting, if it is possible, try to explain your plan standing up. Chuck Cohn said, that
“many people who I work with, they like to meet me over lunch at some restaurant. He said at the restaurant we almost get unhealthy food that is not good for me. He likes to take a coffee and walk around the block instead of going to Starbucks or other places.” Again, I want to tell you that I don’t become sedentary.
5. Balance your stress levels
Taking too much stress can lead you worse effects on your health. In the entrepreneurial world, it is easy to face such kinds of issues including anxiety, depression, and fatigue. Not able to balance these things can lead you to devastating consequences. it is true that Being busy is sometimes is unavoidable, but frequently taking on more than you can balance can cause unwanted stress.
