Healthier eating options

When you have deadlines to meet and tight schedules to follow, eating right takes a back seat and the easiest thing is to reach for is junk food and caffeinated drinks at your work place. Eventually, all this leads to breakdowns and burnouts. It is time to wake up to healthier eating options while at work…. And what can be healthier, tastier and more convenient than fruits? Eating fruits regularly contributes to your well being. Consuming a variety of fruits daily is one of the easiest lifestyle changes you can make. It improves your health, helps you to lose weight and gain fitness. 

Straw berries look, smell and taste great. They are seasonal fruit and are available only in summer. You can have them in shakes and smoothies and desserts, or you can just eat them whole.

A weight watcher’s best friend

Fruits are a weight watcher’s best friend.  Regular intake of fruits makes you feel fresh and ready for exercise. As the large water and fiber content makes the stomach fill up quickly, it prevents you from binging on food. Having some fruits before a meal is a good idea to cut down on food. You can eat them as they are or combine them with other food. In whichever way fruits are just delicious. Yogurt and cottage cheese taste great with berries. You can eat them with oat meal or cornflakes or in your salad. Just be creative with them and you will be a healthier person. 

Mango smoothie 

A lovely Mango recipe: Peel and cube two ripe mangoes. Blend together. Add two cups of yogurt and blend again. Pour it in to a jar and serve with a sprinkling of white pepper powder. You can add a table spoon of honey if you want. Mangoes are an ideal summer food as they are high in many carotenoids, especially Beta-carotene. Beta-Carotene has a protective affect against the harmful rays of the sun, so your sun tolerance is increased if you eat mangoes. Mangoes contain Vitamin A, Vitamins C & E and nutrients like Selenium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, selenium, Folic acid (foliate), and zinc. They are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. The B complex in mangoes acts as a great anti-stress agent.

Useful tips to healthy eating

Don’t deny yourself the foods you love. Eat a little bit of everything and not too much of anything. Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are not. Waiting till you are too hungry, is not a good idea. Eating when you are stressed out isn’t a good idea either. [If the cause of your stress is not food, food is not going to get rid of your stress]. Ensure that you replenish the diuretic affects of coffee and tea by drinking a glass of water for each cup. Include more of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Balance your meals. Be conscious of what you put on your plate. Stock up on fruits! The fruits have plenty of dietary fiber, they have no sodium, fat, or cholesterol, and they contain more digestible carbohydrates than any other food. A diet rich in fresh fruits is ideal for weight watchers, as fruits are low calorie foods.  It is a healthy snack which offers an abundance of nutrients and water. 

Useful tips on fitness: 

Exercise is a great detoxifier. Sweat out all the toxins. The lymphatic system, which is like our sewage system, has no pump like a heart or any valves. The lymphatic system relies on gravity and movement to keep it running efficiently. Exercise has a natural endorphin affect that will decrease stress and release chemicals that will give you more energy.
