Smart Office Eating: Stay Healthy and Energized

Balancing a healthy diet during office hours is essential for well-being and productivity, especially in a fast-paced workplace environment. According to the National Family Health Survey, many people, particularly women, tend to consume unhealthy deep-fried meals regularly, leading to potential weight gain and health issues. Dr. Mukesh Batra, Founder and Chairman Emeritus at Dr. Batra’s Healthcare, emphasizes the importance of choosing nourishing options over calorie-laden junk food to maintain productivity and overall health.

1. Stay Hydrated: Begin your day with a glass of water and make an effort to keep sipping water throughout the day. Proper hydration aids digestion, controls appetite and boosts energy.
2. Opt for Healthy Snacks: Instead of reaching for unhealthy snacks, keep a selection of nutritious options nearby. Consider a mix of almonds, dates, and raisins, which provide protein, fiber, and essential nutrients to keep you satisfied.
3. Limit Caffeine: While coffee or tea can offer a quick energy boost, excessive caffeine can lead to hyperacidity and restlessness. Explore healthier alternatives like herbal teas or fresh fruit juices.
4. Pack a Balanced Lunch: Whenever possible, prepare your lunch at home. Include a variety of foods from different food groups, such as lean proteins, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. This balanced meal will provide sustained energy.
5. Healthy Cravings: When you crave a snack, choose healthier options. Carry small packets of flavored Makhana (fox nuts) or protein bars. These choices are low in unhealthy fats and sugars, satisfying your cravings without disrupting your diet.
