Do you often wake up in the morning feeling tired? Worry not, because celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has a few tips for you.

Many people consider mornings to be the most active time of the day. Feeling energetic after waking up can not only boost mood but also set the tone for what is to follow.

Taking to Instagram, Diwekar shared a reel, revealing tips to wake up with more energy. "The only way to get more energy in the morning is to sleep better. And the only way to sleep better is to have a proper dinner. And the only way to have a proper dinner is to have it three hours prior to bedtime," she said in the video.

Further elaborating on how food choices and habits can impact sleep and energy levels in the morning, she said, "The way to ensure that you are not overeating that meal three hours prior to bedtime is to plan what you are going to eat between 4-6 PM in the evening a week ahead of time."

"Wrong food consumption usually occurs between 4-6 PM. This happens because one doesn't decide in advance what they have to eat. So, sit every Sunday and plan what you are going to eat during this time in the week," she added.

In an earlier video, Diwekar had advised people to have a fresh homemade meal between 4-6 PM every day.

She gave the following three reasons why this is essential:

• It helps to unwind and de-stress.
• It reduces late-night cravings.
• It allows you to have a smallish dinner so that you sleep well.
