HEALTHY LIVING

At a time when the world is moving at an ever faster pace, with people multitasking and constantly rushing around, it is imperative to create the time to have a proper meal. Having lunch is more than furnishing your body with a quick meal. It is more about taking the time to sit back, relax, breath, and recharge for the rest of the day. This goes a long way in refreshing you and increasing your productivity.

The word ''lunch'' is abbreviated from the word ''lunchentach,'' and was used for a meal that was inserted between more substantial meals. It was originally intended for the working class to take a break for snack and a drink at noon but now lunch serves as the main meal of the day in many parts of the world.

Nutritionist suggest that it is more appropriate to eat a large meal at lunch than it is to do at supper, just before going to bed, when the energy from the meal will not be properly utilized.
This means, your lunch mostly should be large and cooked, as against a light lunch of bread and vegetables we mostly take. It should be high in fibre, low in fat and high in carbohydrates, to supply the energy you need for an active day.
It is advised that snacks and drinks be avoided before lunch, and water taken as an alternative to fruit juices during the meal.
HERE ARE A FEW BENEFITS OF HAVING LUNCH REGULARLY.
1].It helps support your mind and body with energy for a fulfilled mid afternoon to evening.
2].It enhances your productivity and improves your mood and concentration.
3].It also helps you to a good body structure. This happens because you wouldn't find your self eating junk food.
So go ahead and give yourself a health boost: have your lunch always!
