Healthy Eating Habits for Today's Busy Career Woman
Monday, July 24, 2017
Busy women often find themselves skipping
important meal times or take fast foods
in their efforts to save time. Unfortunately, this often results in less output
at the workplace and a number of health problems resulting from lack of energy and
vital nutrients in the body. There are several eating habits that you have
to adopt if you want to have the energy to power
you through your busy schedule and keep you in good health. Here are
some of the habits:
Never skip breakfast
You are
running out in a hurry to catch the train or for the early morning meeting and
have little time to take in breakfast. You end up going to the workplace with an
empty stomach. This is a no no. Skipping breakfast may increase the risk for diabetes, morning
moodiness, and obesity. Wake up early and prepare a breakfast with cereals,
vegetables, and proteins to start your day. You can make sandwiches and have accessible to you for breakfast at
the office.
Prepare your foods in advance
There is a high likelihood that your morning
is packed with activities such as preparing children for school, early morning study and
so forth that you will not have enough time to prepare the breakfast for yourself. Do it at night before bed and keep frozen healthy options ready to be picked
in the morning on your way out.
Do not eat and work at the same
time
Most people do not stop working even on their lunch break. They munch as they work on the day's proposal or with their eyes
fixed on the computer. Put your work aside for a moment and focus on the meal.
If possible, walk outside and have your meal in the open. You will have the
benefits of fresh air, relaxing outdoor environment and a pleasurable eating
experience. You will come back energized and
ready to work. Eating while working, on
the other hand, has been proven to cause a rapid increase in weight.
Stay hydrated
Water is a vital part of your health. Most offices have water dispensers where you a glass of cold water is readily available. Drink as much water as you can and encourage
others to do the same. Water has great benefits to your health. It can positively affect your skin, digestion, mind,
and overall well-being.
Choose healthy options when dining out
Sometimes you will not have the time to prepare your lunch for the day and you will have to eat out at some point. However, when you go out for lunch never settle for greasy fast foods. Instead, look for
healthy eating options while limiting the fried foods. Have more salads, soups, veggies, and
fruits in your meals and you will feel completely energized throughout the day.
You have so much to offer your job, your family and your community. Never jeopardize or sacrifice your health in the process. Taking care of you is the number one priority then you can give the best of yourself.
