It’s likely that you’ve been spending most of your days at home lately, working from home. Not only does this mean we’re moving less, but it also becomes more tempting to open the kitchen cupboards and start snacking. However, now more than ever, it’s important to stay active and eat healthy to keep your immune system strong!
What can you do to keep eating healthily?
-
Plan your meals: Eat regularly and spread your meals throughout the day to reduce the urge to snack.
-
Choose whole grains, vegetables, fruit, and legumes. The fiber in these foods helps you feel full for longer.
-
Use this extra time to build new habits, such as always adding raw vegetables to your lunch or preparing a healthy vegetable soup that you can snack on each day.
-
Stick to your usual workday eating pattern. Don’t eat a cookie with your coffee if you wouldn’t do that at the office.
-
Take proper breaks at home, so you can eat your lunch or snack mindfully. This helps prevent unconscious overeating.
