You've gotta eat well if you're going to be productive working at home. Account for this early and often, especially if you usually eat at the office in a cafeteria or have some kind of provided meal. Eating a veggie, starch, and protein for each meal throughout the day is going to work wonders for your ability to stay productive.

Sleep and Energy

Keeping these consistent is crucial as well. When you're just starting off working from home, you might feel like it's going to be a much easier work day. While you might not have to commute or get dressed up for any meetings, there's still at on of work to be done on your end. You have to enter each day with good energy when you're well rested.

One supplement that's increased in popularity recently are adaptogenic mushroom blends. Including powders, gummies, and recipes, there's a lot to unpack with adding these superfoods into your diet.

 

What are Adaptogenic Mushrooms?

First off: these aren't magic mushrooms. They're game-changers in a healthy, nutrient-based, legal way. Adaptogenic mushrooms, also called "functional mushrooms," are mushrooms that have a variety of functional wellness properties and support linked to them. In the 14,000 mushroom species today, there's only a handful that are effectively adaptogenic mushrooms.

Types of Functional Mushrooms 

Lion's Mane - Lion's Mane is a white, almost urchin-like mushroom that looks very similar to the consistency of a lion's mane. With its unique appearance and qualities, it also offers a ton of functional support for your brain health and antibodies. The nutrients within Lion's Mane are primarily iron, protein, potassium, and amino acids.

When combined with the support they offer, Lion's Mane is a safe bet to start with over other functional mushrooms. While it may be more difficult to cook with or get into your diet consistently, it's well worth the prep work to ensure your workday from home is as focused as possible.

Cordyceps - Cordyceps look like they could be dried-out sweet potato fries. Fortunately, they actually are linked to major brain-boosting support for better focus, increased productivity, and more.

Red Reishi - Reishi might look like a bear claw donut, but it's actually a highly nutritious and impactful functional mushroom. These are also high in protein and potassium like Lion's Mane. Although, the main difference is the impact of what Reishi supports. Generally, you'll be looking for better sleep support and getting more restful downtime when you're using Reishi.

How Can Adaptogenic Mushrooms Support Working From Home?

Energy Boost - Getting more energy when you are just starting the morning and blasting into a productive workday can be a game-changer when you're working from home. A handful of functional mushrooms could be the perfect route to get that boost you need.

The trick will be finding the right quantity and route into your diet. For example, Cordyceps has a variety of recipes dedicated to implementing these mushrooms into your diet. Those dishes can just have a larger prep time and a reduced shelf life. Another option you might want to seek out are supplements and nootropics. These can make getting Cordyceps into your diet much simpler. Regardless of how you do it Cordyceps are one of the better functional mushrooms you'll want to take advantage of if you're going to get the energy boost you need to finish out those tougher days.

Even if you just use it for a meeting or two on a video call, or to speed up the last few documents you have to go through at the end of the day. Cordyceps can be an effective, efficient route to keep you on pace when working from home.

Increased Focus - Staying locked into the task at hand can be really tough with kids running around, the tv on, music playing, and other factors that wouldn't apply to the average workplace.

This is a key point where you can take advantage of Lion's Mane mushrooms to support focus that'll last through the day. Especially if you have afternoons that drag on top of a distracting environment, Lion's Mane mushrooms might be the way to go for giving you natural help with your focus.

Better Sleep - When your work meshes with where you sleep, you might have a tougher time getting restful sleep. This is because it's hard to relax in an environment where you're under stress and working on important tasks. Luckily, adaptogenic mushrooms like Red Reishi are linked to supporting more restful, consistent sleep habits. They function to give your body the antioxidants and overall body wellness to release tension, while also giving vitamins and minerals toward your daily value.
