Lunch
Lunch provides the body with energy
which is essential in physical and mental performance
and healthy weight management.
Fast food is often the option at lunch with our busy ‘on the go’
schedules but that does not provide essential vitamins and nutrients.
Poor eating habits can lead to diabetes and high cholesterol
so we need to make eating a healthy lunch every day a priority.
A meal that is high in fibre, low in fat and provides the long-lasting
energy from healthy carbohydrates helps supply the body and mind
with energy to avoid a mid-afternoon slump and keep us feeling good
through the day. Remember, taking time out can also help improve
concentration levels, enable time for building
relationships and even build fitness levels if you do some exercise
during your break. Grab a healthy lunch option and take a stroll
along the boardwalk for that mind and body break that refreshes.
