Loving your job is a big deal and there is nothing wrong with that.But when you spend most and practically all your time in the office, chances are your health will get short shrift. Most workers skip meals, have worse diets and do not exercise. So,if cutting back your hours isn’t an option or you simply don’t want to, try these few ways to eat and live healthfully, no matter how time-crunched your work is!
* Make healthy meals your meals a most- Instead of a dish of candy on your desk, try a basket of apples or trail mix, you are much more likely to munch on the fruits and vegetables. Some of the best snacks to have on hand during the workday are a mix of protein plus produce or whole grains. This combination of protein and fiber is filling, helps steady blood sugar and provides many other key nutrients to help your body and brain perform optimally.
* Water is not a gamble option,because the hydration will do you good, but for those of us with office jobs, the best thing about guzzling H2O is that it forces you to get up from your desk and walk to the bathroom several times a day. The truth is, sitting for too long can kill you. When you’re inactive, your metabolism glacierizes. Obviously, finding every excuse you can to stand up and move is worth it.
*Eating small portions can help you eat less.For one, you can’t put as much food on a smaller plate as you can on a bigger one. Also, you may eat less quickly because you’ll have less food.
* Candy can’t always be a NO NO. Indulging in dark chocolates which is naturally high in healthy flavonoid every day can help your heart. People who eat about an ounce and a half of dark chocolate (with 70 percent cocoa) daily for two weeks had lower levels of bad cholesterol and higher good cholesterol than those who nibbled on white chocolate, which contains zero cocoa. Dark chocolate may help reduce blood pressure.
* If possible walk to work, if you can, or at the very least walk while running errands around your neighbourhood. Walking 15 minutes a day, especially if you do it briskly, stokes your metabolic fire and allows you to sustain better heart fitness. In fact, a Harvard study found that walking just 15 minutes a day, five days a week made men less likely to die of any cause over the next five years.
