Real Meals
When you're on your toes 24x7, the last thing on your diet should be incorrect food consumption. Extract maximum energy by going for 'real' meals
A greasy cheese burger, fries, coffee from the fast food joint down the street robs you off energy! You should ideally eat with care and be aware of what your body requires. The virtues of water are oft-praised. One must have lots of water! Atleast 8-12 glasses each day is an absolute must as it hydrates your body. Lots of time, most of us mistake our thirst to be hunger and overeat adding the extra calories to our diet.
Some high water content foods are cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, watermelon, asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, strawberreis, broccoli, carrots, oranges, peaches and apricots. make sure you have enough of these.
Often we avoid carbohydrates thinking it makes us gain weight. In fact, they are major fuel sources and provide energy and help the body to function properly. Carbohydrate rich foods are fruits, vegertables, beans, and whole grains. Milk and milk products also contain a significant amount of carbohydrates.
Also avoid skipping meals as it tends to lower the blood sugar levels and make one feel weak and dizzy.
Some top foods to keep in your desk or locker whilst you are at work are nuts and seeds, especially, almonds and walnuts, apricots, any fresh fruit, whole wheat crackers, herbal infusion packets, a small bag of popcorn and carrot sticks.
