B1 Reading – Building a Healthy Morning Routine

Read the text below and answer the multiple-choice questions.

A healthy morning routine doesn’t need to be long or complicated. The goal is to start the day with energy and focus. First, try to wake up at the same time every day. Consistent wake-up times help your body clock work better and make it easier to fall asleep at night.
After getting out of bed, drink a glass of water to rehydrate. Many people also open the curtains or step outside for a minute—morning light signals your brain that it’s time to be alert. Keep the first 20–30 minutes screen-free if possible; checking messages and social media can increase stress before your day even begins.
Next, move your body. A short routine—like five minutes of stretching, a quick walk, or light exercises—can increase blood flow and improve mood. For breakfast, choose protein and fiber, such as eggs, yogurt, oats, or fruit. These foods keep you full longer and support steady energy levels.
Finally, spend a minute planning: write a simple to-do list, choose one top priority, and estimate how long important tasks will take. When your morning is calm and intentional, the rest of your day often feels easier.
