EVERYTHING I DRINK DURING MY 12hr SHIFT7p-7a(Fasti

#fyp #fastfood #diet

2025/6/17 Edited to

During long shifts, staying hydrated is crucial, especially if you're incorporating fasting. I prefer a mix of fluids like water and herbal teas that not only keep me hydrated but also offer health benefits. For example, I often start with a bottle of water as soon as my shift begins at 7 PM, which helps maintain my energy levels. At around 9 PM, I enjoy a cup of 'Smooth Move' tea, which assists with digestion and offers a calming effect during busy hours. I’ve noticed and appreciated the benefit of mindful drinking, choosing drinks that not only quench my thirst but also contribute to my overall wellness. As I progress through the night, I keep track of my intake, which is particularly vital for those of us working irregular hours. Around midnight, I often reach for a second bottle of water to ensure I'm staying on top of my hydration. Additionally, for those who dislike traditional tea, several flavored herbal options can provide a pleasant taste without compromising your fasting goals. It's essential to adapt your hydration strategy to match your lifestyle and work routine, making tweaks until you find what best supports your well-being while working long shifts.
