Lunch is a happily anticipated break in most people’s workday. But how often after lunch do you feel over-stuffed and ready for a nap—anything but work? Whether you are packing lunch, grabbing it on the go, or eating out, you can make smart choices that will cut back on calories and bring you energy for the rest of your day. Best of all, many of these tips can decrease costs, too!
1. Soup up your lunch
2. Brown foods bring energy
3. Pick protein for steady energy
4. Got greens?
5. Lunch tips you can bring to work
6. Get smart about eating out
A cup of green or herbal tea can boost your energy and bring you long-term health benefits. Try specially formulated Ancient Treasures tea for balance at the workplace or Internal Cleanse tea to clear toxins.
Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries, goji berries, and cherries: rich in antioxidants, berries can also help remove toxic residue from the system, which is sometimes the cause of low energy.
A handful of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit is a grab-and-go treat that will ward off your energy slump. Seeds such as pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds are full of magnesium; so are nuts, especially almonds, Brazil nuts, and cashews.
Instead of a bagel with cream cheese, have a slice of wheat toast with hummus. Beans like hummus can help you sustain your energy and prevent low blood sugar from setting in.
An apple is a heart-healthy instant snack that will feed your metabolism without overloading you with calories.
I hope this article helps you make the most of lunch! I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me.
May you live long, live strong, and live happy!
