LUNCH
Lunch isn’t just a pit stop; it’s a chance to recharge, refuel, and keep your blood sugar steady so you don’t hit that dreaded 3 PM slump. As a functional nutritionist, I see lunch as the VIP meal that sets the tone for the rest of your day.
Why Lunch Matters
Skipping lunch or grabbing something quick and processed is like running your car on fumes—it’s not gonna end well. A balanced lunch with lean proteins, healthy fats, and fibrous carbs gives you stable energy, sharp focus, and a fighting chance against those mid-afternoon cravings.
What to Eat (and What to Avoid)
Go for: A combo like grilled chicken salad with avocado and quinoa or a hearty lentil soup with a slice of whole-grain bread. This mix keeps your energy stable and your tummy happy.
Avoid: Refined carbs like white bread sandwiches or sugary drinks. They’re sneaky villains that send your blood sugar on a rollercoaster ride.
A Secret Weapon: The Post-Lunch Stroll
After you’ve savoured your nourishing lunch, take a 10-minute walk around the block. This nifty trick not only helps digestion but also keeps your blood sugar from spiking. Plus, it’s a brilliant way to get some fresh air and reset your mind.
Lunch isn’t just a meal; it’s an opportunity to thrive. Make it count, and your body will thank you with steady energy and a skip in your step. Now, go grab that fork and OWN your midday, champ!
