Feeling more than a little harassed at work? Stop yourself from reaching for sugary or salty snacks!
We’ve all been there: pulling long hours at our desks and trying to get the job done before the deadlines hit. Sometimes, the stress drives us to skip meals and we end up grabbing the closest snacks to hand – and, most of the time, these are pretty unhealthy.
Many people end up consuming bags of chips or fuel themselves with candy bars and coffee to get through the day, setting themselves up for even more health problems than just the weariness and headaches you get from stress.
Poor nutritional choices at work can lead to digestive issues, elevated blood sugar levels, migraines, skin problems, and high blood pressure. But seriously: is there a sensible, healthy way to stay fueled up when you’re under stress?
Here are a few things that can help:
- Fiber Up Keeping a small container of fiber-rich snacks like roasted nuts, granola bars, and trail mix (a combination of nuts and dried fruit) will help keep hunger pangs at bay and give you a boost of energy that lasts.
- Fruit + Veg = Vibrant Pack yourself a small salad with a tasty but healthy dressing or a bowl of fresh cut-up fruit as a tasty way to refresh yourself between tasks.
- Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate Ask yourself: are you really hungry or just thirsty? Be sure to stay hydrated throughout the day. Not only does this help you feel full, but it also refreshes you naturally and helps flush out toxins that might make you feel more stressed.
- Eat at the Right Time Whatever you do, don’t skip meals. Eat at the proper time to give your body the necessary nutrients to deal with your tasks for the day. If that’s a challenge, eat several small meals at regular intervals to sustain your energy.
