Morning Pick Up

Can anyone recommend any kind of morning pic me up:)

Something that will make me bright as a light bulb icon3.gif rather than the lights are on but nobody is @ home.

    do you still have rather strange sleeping patterns? you need a good nights sleep and make sure you have breakfast and a drink in the morning! maybe a shower?

    I agree that a good night's sleep is the key.

    Failing that, ten cups of coffee usually do the trick for me ;)

    There's a product called Berrocca - you can get it from almost any supermarket/chemist. You make it into a drink and it gives you 100%RDA of many of the vitamins and minerals you need. It's excellent if you've got a hangover, but can be taken as a pep drink if you feel run down. It is recommended for people who don't have time for breakfast etc to give your body its morning fuel.

    A proper balanced diet with a breakfast is probably better though.

    Berocca does have an amazing side effect too - has anyone ever tried it????? ;)

    It makes your pee go bright green (and I'm talking radioactive bright green) - it's something to do with the toxins in your body, and your kidney breaking them down into your urine. You have to try it to believe it!!!!

    Coffee doesn't hav any effect on me.

    My sleep patterns are better now but still quite funny as I work different hours everyday.

    I think sugarary things get me going more but they don't last.

    Yeah, it's true.

    It makes it go greener all the time. But if you have a break between using it of a couple or days or so, then take one, that first tinkle can glow like something from Sellafield!!!!

    You'll get it frm Boots, or any store with a chemist. It's around 4quid for 15 of them. It does give you a bit of a pick me up, but the side effect alone is probably worth the investment!!!!!!!! :lol:

    Let me know how you get on with it!!!!

    My friend told me about it, and I felt uneasy discussing my pee with him!!!! Let alone a complete stranger, so don't worry!!!!

    Just happy to be relaying the good work of Berocca to others - I swear by it now.

    Xmas is coming - prime hangover territory, so I'll be stocking up on my weekly foray to the supermarket.

    Apparently, it's the Riboflavin (a B vitamin) which adds a yellowy-green tint to your urine. Just asked a friend who teaches biology at the Uni I go to.

    It's pretty impressive.

    Haha, you guys are really fascinated by the glowing urine, eh? God forbid you ever eat too much beetroot and have a purple shit :p:lol:
