Is the everyday increasing work pressure causing you to skip meals? Do you often find yourself in some burger joint or café at the end of the day to satisfy your hunger?
Do breaks in between work mean tons of coffee and tea for you? Well, you may not like this but you are creating trouble for yourself. Skipping meals and eating junk may have long-term repercussions on your health. It may either lead to malnourishment or obesity.
Why would want to trade your health for a few quick bites of junk between work? Here is a list of food items that you can munch on during office hours. These snacks are not only healthy but easy to prepare as well, so now you can strike a perfect balance between your busy schedule and health.
Boiled eggs with salt and pepper It has been often seen that diabetics are also patients of high blood pressure. Therefore, it becomes important that you control the salt intake along with your sugar intake.
You do not need to have bland food. You can season your food with unsalted oregano, pepper, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, basil, nutmeg, mace, cumin seeds, asafoetida, carom seeds, fennel seeds etc.
All you need to do is boil eggs and you have the perfect snacks awaiting you. Eggs have a lot of protein and are a rich source of vitamin B12.
Easy to cook and full of nutrition, eggs are a good choice of snack food. (However, this is one snack not to be over-indulged in. 2 eggs a day is fine, but you can eat more if you are eating only egg-whites)
Cucumbers Heard the phrase - ‘as cool as a cucumber’? If work pressure is stressing you out, blow off some steam by munching on some cool cucumbers.
Rich in vitamins and low on fats, cucumbers are the way to go this summer.
Boiled corn How does a bowl of boiled corn sound to you? Add a drop of butter and some salt and you have a tasty snack awaiting you. Corn is rich in protein, iron and vitamin B6, and makes for a salubrious diet.
Fruit salad Are you a fan of fruits? Then this is the best option for you. You don’t need to cook or prepare a thing. Just buy some fresh fruits from the market and you are good to go.
If you are in the mood for something more then you can cut some fruits and dip it in milk and fat-free cream and prepare a special fruit cream salad to snack on.
Oatmeal Easy and quick to make, oats are an interesting option for snacks. Full of fiber and protein, oats are the perfect combination of health and ease.
By now you would be convinced that it is easy enough to have a healthy snack even when you don’t have enough time. So the next time you feel hungry at office you know what to have!
DISCLAIMER: People with high blood pressure are recommended to limit their salt intake as per their doctor’s advice. Fresh oregano, thyme, rosemary and coriander can also be used as alternatives to salt. www.healthcareathomeindia.com
