As a rule, in order to invigorate and relieve the remnants of fatigue after sleep, we start our day with a cup of aromatic coffee. Then we drink one more cup to recover from the exhausting journey to the office, another one to recharge before the meeting, to cope with our duties.

To feel cheerful, include the following useful foods in your diet:
