Busy Life Versus Healthy Eating

Who has not gone through the situation of coming home late in the day starving and stopped on the way to buy a sandwich? Or even in the middle of the afternoon going to a meeting, attacking a chocolate, crackers and then blaming yourself for the nonsense you ate during the day, feeling guilty when your pants don't close?

Yeah, this situation described above is very common to many people, who don't have time or can't organize to eat healthily. What happens in the lives of these people who cannot prioritize themselves, being consumed by the various activities they need to perform during the day?

As a consequence of the daily routine of life, stress symptoms are being treated as a syndrome and are already being recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a disease of the century. Tiredness, irritation, low sexual appetite, difficulty concentrating and consecutive colds. These troubles are increasingly common in those who lead a busy and demanding life and characterize the syndrome of the century.

We don't have time for anything that gives us pleasure, and in this vicious circle that our routine imposes on us we end up not having time for behaviors that leads us to have quality of life and good nutrition.

For people who are stuck in meetings, lectures, professional activities that require a lot of commitment and time, it is necessary to develop some strategies to eat with quality, simple attitudes that require a little organization and discipline.

Interesting tips:

Arrange a day of the week to go to the grocery store to shop, but not to be on hand during the week, be sure to buy easy foods like fruits, yoghurts, cereal bars;
Always prepare midday and afternoon snacks the day before, so as not to blame the morning rush;
Always have easy-to-eat foods at home so that when you are in traffic, on an outside appointment, at work you have something of quality to eat;
Always choose restaurants that have several healthy options;
In the case of working near places without good restaurants, it is worth taking your own lunch box, ensuring your healthy eating;
Always wash vegetables and leave food easy to prepare in the refrigerator.

All of these tips depend on one fundamental aspect, the organization and the discipline, all of which are motivated by the desire to stay healthy. Everything in our life needs to be balanced, because when we put too much emphasis on one area of life and set it aside, we suffer the aftermath.

Remember the example of a friend who is almost exclusively dedicated to work, to see how much he complains about being overweight, of the girlfriend who dropped out, finally, a picture of imbalance and lack of common sense.

Thus, as in everything in our lives, organization and discipline is important, with food is no different, so I invite you to reflect on this aspect and take care that you have good habits that will lead to well-being and quality of life.
