In this episode of A Healthy Shift, Roger Sutherland, a certified nutritionist and experienced shift worker, reveals a simple, revolutionary habit that can transform your shift work routine. By drinking 500 ml (16 ounces) of water first thing in the morning, you can kickstart your day with a surge of energy, clarity, and focus.
Shift workers often face unique challenges, including fatigue, brain fog, and cravings, due to natural fluid loss during sleep and insufficient hydration. Roger explains how proper hydration, especially right after waking up, can help combat these common issues. By prioritising hydration, you can boost alertness, enhance metabolism, improve circulation, and create a strong foundation for managing the demands of shift work.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why hydration is crucial for shift workers and how it impacts energy and focus
- The benefits of drinking 500 ml (16 ounces) of water as soon as you wake up
- How rehydration helps combat fatigue, brain fog, and cravings
- Practical tips for incorporating hydration into your daily routine for improved health and performance
- The importance of staying safe, healthy, and hydrated as a shift worker
Roger also emphasises how being mindful of your hydration and energy levels can create lasting changes, helping you thrive in your shift work lifestyle instead of just surviving.
