The Sunnah
The Prophet ﷺ said: "In the morning, charity is due from every joint of your body. Every tasbeehah is charity, every tahmeedah is charity… and two rak'at of Duha will suffice for all of that."

The Science
Research on mid-morning breaks shows that brief structured pauses improve cognitive performance and reduce workplace stress. Exercise physiology studies confirm that light physical activity (like the standing and bowing in prayer) during mid-morning improves blood circulation and alertness.
