Diet Tip | BE MINDFUL WHEN "DESK EATING"
When hard at work with little time to spare for a healthy lunch, it’s often tempting to choose processed, easy-to-transport foods (such as energy bars, crisps, pastries etc) to satisfy our appetites. However, there are other choices, and being glued to the desk certainly doesn't mean we have to sacrifice healthy eating in favour of faster, more convenient food options. There are plenty of ways to eat healthily whilst still being deskbound, and preparation is key.
For healthy snack options, prepare a bowl of fresh fruit, enclosed in a disinfected storage bag to prevent bacteria accumulation. This is a great pick-me-up in the mid-afternoon, when energy levels typically dip. A bag filled with almonds or walnuts also helps to maintain energy levels while curbing hunger pangs, reducing cravings for sugary junk food.
Generally though, it is a better option to leave the desk in order to enjoy a healthy, filling lunch. Try eating a tuna, lettuce and tomato sandwich on whole grain bread, which fills you up quickly and for a long time. A travel-sized can of broth-based soup also satisfies hunger pangs while loading your body with essential nutrients, such as vitamin C and A.
