TIPS FOR OFFICE GOERS


Most of the people going to offices have a sedentary lifestyle. They have to sit & work for long hours and there is no physical activity.So for them it becomes difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
They tend to skip meals or eat junk food as it is easily available & is less time consuming.

But if you want to lose your weight or maintain it,do make the following changes in your lifestyle-

DO NOT SKIP MEALS-
Most office goers skip meals due to time constraint.This causes a drop in the blood sugar level & also causes overeating in the next meal.Eat at least 5-6 meals in a day.
Some healthy options available are-
LASSI

  • roated channa 
  • peanuts
  • curd
  • carrots & cucumber
  • lassi
  • coconut water
All these options can be had as a mini meal or mid day meal.

HAVE LOTS OF WATER-
Try to drink at least 7-8 glasses of water in a day.Water helps you feel fuller & also removes toxins from the body.Sometimes we confuse thirst with hunger, so always have a glass of water & see if you are still feeling hungry or not.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY-
Try to move as much as possible.Even while sitting you can exercise by rotating your arms & feet.Use stairs instead  of lift as much as possible.

Some other options for quick fix lunches -
  • Grilled sandwiches-use  wholewheat bread & keep the cheese out.
  • Chapati rolls-stuff your chapati with anything like chicken, egg, fish, cottage cheese(paneer), tofu, vegetables.
  • Sprouts & curd-easy to make &carry.Also very nutritious.
  • Idli, poha, upma-cooks in a jiffy & gives you the nutrients you require.
