Healthy Eating Habits " How To Keep A Healthy Lifestyle At Work

By Hubert Boyle


You would probably think that the easiest thing to do is to go the vendo machine or the closest fast food restaurant for your food and drinks. Making this a habit can be potentially hazardous to your over-all well-being. It will do nothing except to give you a full stomach without the proper nutrition that your mind and body need in order to function well.

Never skip breakfast as you need it to feed your mind and invigorate your body for the next 4 hours or so or until your next food intake. If you do not have the time, you can fix yourself a sandwich the night before so you can just take it with you before leaving for work.

Take your own snacks and lunch from home. The money that you will save is just a bonus because when you cook up your food right in your own kitchen, you can be sure of the kind of nutrition that you will get. Salads, sandwich made of whole wheat bread, and grilled meat are good choices. Place packed food in an insulated carrier bag in order to keep hot food warm or cold food cool for up to 4 hours.

Eat on time and at the right place. As much as possible, always eat on schedule and remember to do so in a designated eating area only. Focusing on your eating sans distractions such as telephone calls or the computer enables you to eat properly at just the right amount. It is also a perfect time to have a change of environment and interact with other people as a way to take a breather from your busy work life. This is why most offices have pantries as an important element of the Interior design. Employers should make sure that their office interior design features a fully-equipped pantry complete with all the essentials such as a sink, refrigerator, microwave oven, oven toaster, and eating utensils.

When you need to attend to an urgent matter so much so that you aren't able to leave your desk just yet, it is always a good idea to have a supply of healthy, non-perishable food items such as nuts and crackers. Just do not forget to sanitize your desk before and after you eat so you don't attract pests to your work area.
