It is very easy to fall into a monotonous routine when you lead a hectic work life. But ensuring you look after your wellbeing is a priority. Your body will thank you if you look after it well and also your immune system will be in a better position to fight off any colds. 

Choosing what you eat throughout the day is essential, as you need food to nourish and keep up your energy levels, particularly if you need to focus on your work tasks. Start the day off well with some slow, release foods like porridge or handmade pancakes with fresh fruit and yogurt. 

Eat Small Meals Throughout the day

It’s better if you are able to eat small consistent meals throughout the day as opposed to starving yourself and then binging on a large dinner in the evening. This will ensure your energy levels are not fluctuating so much, where you are more likely to crave sugary and processed foods. 

Try New Foods 

It has become increasingly popular to adopt a vegan lifestyle in the last few years, and you can see why, as there are a multitude of vegetables, pulses and grains that you can combine with flavoursome herbs and spices to create something tasty, but above all quick. So the notion that only bags of crisps and chocolate bars are the only accessible options are not true. 

There are much more plant-based options to choose from whether it’s dining out or being able to purchase products such as those from No Evil Foods who provide recipe and meal ideas. You never know, you might end up liking a new food that you can add to your diet that is also nutritious. 

It has been reported that almost 9.6 million Americans have adopted a vegan diet over the course of the last 15 years, which equates to a 300% increase. This is substantial and likely to increase even more in the next ten years or so, especially as more people are becoming increasingly concerned about the effects of global warming and use of plastics in by many businesses.

Take Breaks From Screen Time 

Considering the majority of us were working from home for most of 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are certainly spending a lot more time staring at laptop, television and mobile screens. It’s important to take short breaks away from your desk throughout the day in order to rest your eyes and to enable you to move around, especially if you are sitting at a desk for long periods of time. 

Ultimately any positive changes you can add to your routine that might encourage a healthier lifestyle will be beneficial for you as it will lead to better quality of sleep, reduce your stress levels and enable you to be more productive throughout the working day.
