The Zapper: Your Comfy Desk Chair
The Zapper: Your Comfy Desk Chair The Reason: Ever wondered why sitting in your car then transitioning to sitting down in your office chair can feel so utterly exhausting? According to Dr. Frank King, M.D., founder of King Bio, sitting for long periods of time puts your body into idle mode. Your lack of movement makes circulation sluggish and lowers the amount of oxygen flowing to your brain. Cue the onslaught of yawns.

The Fatigue Fighter: Go for a walk. Studies show getting up and moving can boost energy for up to two hours. "Walking is the simplest, most natural form of exercise," says King. "Taking brisk, 10-minute walks a day helps increase circulation, lower blood pressure, and instantly perk you up." Getting out in the sunlight also boosts your serotonin levels so you come back to your work refreshed, more productive and even more creative.
