Do you sometimes have trouble getting through the afternoon?\u00a0 Maybe it’s time to invest in a healthy lunch.<\/p>\n

A healthy lunch doesn’t have to be just an extension of an already over packed morning.\u00a0 A healthy lunch should be a\u00a0 respite from the confusion and stress of the morning leading up to the lunch hour.<\/p>\n

TAKE A WALK – Whether you work in an office, factory, retail outlet, or home, walking\u00a0 is a good way to make your lunch a bit more enjoyable and healthy.\u00a0 Your lhealthy lunch walk doesn’t have to be long.\u00a0 Nor is it a substitute for\u00a0 food.\u00a0 It is a chance to change your environment and move your muscles for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

TAKE A POWER NAP – Five or ten minutes devoted to putting one’s feet up and closing one’s eyes can change your life.\u00a0 No kidding.\u00a0 A few minutes sleeping in the middle of the day makes a lot of difference in the remainder of my day.\u00a0 And, it can make the same difference in yours.<\/p>\n

MAKE YOUR LUNCH HEALTHY.\u00a0 Healthy, clean food can make a world of difference in how you function in the afternoon.\u00a0 Basically, that means you eat foods that are food.\u00a0 Boycott\u00a0 chemical laden lunches which are low in nutrition and high in calories and toxic additives.<\/p>\n

GET AWAY FROM YOUR DESK.\u00a0 No matter how stressful things are, physically remove yourself from your desk for at least fifteen minutes.\u00a0 Take a walk.\u00a0 Chat with a couple of working colleagues.\u00a0 Make a personal call or two.\u00a0 Your goal is to take yourself away from the desk physically, mentally, emotionally for a few moments.<\/p>\n

DO YOU RUN ERRANDS?\u00a0 Walk them if\u00a0 you can.\u00a0 The exercise you get on your lunch break will refresh you physically, mentally, and emotionally.<\/p>\n

ARE YOU ON A DIET?\u00a0 Start a lunch group where you eat with other colleagues who are also interested in weight management, health, and nutrition.\u00a0 You can enjoy the group socially as well as support each other as you lose weight.<\/p>\n

YOUR HEALTHY LUNCH BEGINS WITH A HEALTHY BREAKFAST.\u00a0 It’s much harder to eat a healthy lunch if you’ve skipped breakfast and are hungry and craving high-fat, high calorie, high carb foods.\u00a0 A good breakfast which includes whole grains and lean proteins will serve you well throughout the morning.<\/p>\n

INCLUDE A HEALTHY SOUP.\u00a0 A healthy soup will include the protein and fiber you’ll need to get through the afternoon.\u00a0 The ideal soup will be broth based and will make you feel full while\u00a0 not wasting calories.<\/p>\n

LEAVE YOUR BUILDING.\u00a0 GET OUTSIDE.\u00a0 Whether you are running errands, power walking, or visiting with friends, make sure you walk outside your building for a few minutes.\u00a0 Take a few deep breaths.\u00a0 Be outside.\u00a0 Is it raining?\u00a0 Snowing?\u00a0 Broiling hot?\u00a0 Whatever is happening outside your building, spend a couple of minutes experiencing this day.\u00a0 Enjoy a couple of minutes of this escape to recharge!<\/p>\n

No matter how stressful your day, consider how best to use your lunch time.<\/p>\n

Go for it!<\/p>\n
