coffee Our bodies naturally produce a hormone called cortisol, which makes us feel more awake. But the caffeine ∈ coffee can interfere with our body’s cortisol production, and over time this can lead us to become more dependent on caffeine and produce less cortisol naturally — so save it until after around 10 a.m.

Exercise is always part of the answer when the question is about being healthier/happier/more productive. But more specifically, pre-breakfast exercise can have its own benefits.
