Tips to avoid the lunch break blues |
(NC)—According to a recent survey commissioned by Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamers, one-in-five Canadians either don't have time for lunch or end up skipping the meal entirely. In fact, 17% of Canadians consider the midday meal to be a luxury that they often do not have time to enjoy. Follow these tips for a healthy choice and make the most out of your lunch hour.
• Book lunch into your calendar: whenever possible, plan ahead and mark your break in your calendar. Set yourself a reminder for 15 minutes before to ensure you don't miss out. • Make a date once a week: having a lunch date to look forward to provides a nice escape from the stress of the work week. Invite a friend or co-worker to join you for a bite to eat. • Change it up: leave your desk or step outside of the house – even if it is just into your backyard. The combination of fresh air and the change of scenery will rejuvenate you for the remainder of the day. • Pack a lunch from home: having a nutritious lunch on hand ensures you have a healthy meal to enjoy wherever you are, even if you do find yourself crunched for time at the noon hour. Frozen entrées like Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamers make are a great option for time-strapped individuals. www.newscanada.com |
