Good
nutrition and exercise is essential for
us to have a healthy body and mind, so the
next time you decide to take the easier
option when choosing something to eat, think
again — what you are eating could be
adding to your body fat content.
There are a variety of easy meal options
and ways to counter the battle of the bulge.
Whether you are at work or at home take
time to prepare your food. This will give
you time to think of what ingredients you
are using and what the end result of what
you are actually putting into your mouth
is.
At work try to take time out to eat lunch.
Get up from your desk and walk out of the
building to eat. This will allow you to
fully digest your meal and also give you
a break from work.
At home encourage all members of your family
to have some input in preparing meals in
the kitchen and try to eat as a family.
This can make meal time fun, a rewarding
experience and what you have created will
be appreciated by all the family.
The most important part of healthy eating
is setting aside time in your day to exercise.
Work some of these tips into your daily
routine if you are having trouble finding
time to exercise at work:
Use the stairs whenever possible,
Keep your phone, printers and faxes out
of arms reach,
Park your car further from your work building
to walk further,
Instead of using the phone or e-mail within
your work place get up from your chair and
go and speak to someone face-to-face.
