Ways To Be Healthy While Having A Busy Lifestyle

 Do you always have a tight work schedule? 

Are you unable to follow a healthy lifestyle because of your professional commitments?

It is quite explicable that for some professionals, balancing a tight work schedule and a healthy lifestyle is quite tough. But always grabbing a fast-food lunch or skipping sleep is not healthy at all and may create some serious problems in the future. No matter what your schedule looks like, eating a balanced diet and following some healthy habits should be of prime importance.

As you are already here, we welcome you to the world of healthy eating and healthy living. Here, our dedicated team has some awesome and easy tips to make your cooking experience easier without disturbing your professional commitments. 

Avoid ‘No time No meal’ policy:  You always compromise with your breakfast because of your morning meetings and obligations? Please don’t do this as skipping meals is directly linked with an increased risk of obesity and diabetes. It is recommended to have a meal or snack every three to four hours. Having protein bars and shakes is also a good choice for a healthy meal on the go. You can subscribe to our Halal Recipe Box, which is designed to make your home cooking as easy as a breeze. You just have to select and order your preferred recipes from our website and we will deliver a box with the exact measurements of ingredients based on the serving size you have selected for each meal.

1. Keep yourself hydrated

To be healthy and fit, you must start your day with a glass of plain water. We always suggest drinking a full glass of water as soon as you wake up in the morning. The six to eight hours of recommended nightly sleep dehydrates our body so, drinking a glass of water in the morning helps to rehydrate the body. Moreover, a glass of water in the morning increases your level of alertness, boost your energy level, and fuel your brain.

       2. Select easy to cook recipes

It is always convenient if you can prepare snacks and meals for the whole day before you leave for the office. But what if you have hardly any time in you for cooking? Don’t worry. We are here with our Halal Recipe Box to help you out. On our website, you can select the recipes one week before you want to receive them. You can either choose from our ‘family recipe’ boxes or ‘meals for two’ boxes. Once you are done ordering, you will receive a box full of fresh and 100% halal ingredients every week on Tuesdays.  Start cooking, and in 30 to 40 minutes your delicious and healthy meals will be ready.

       3. Say No to ‘eat and work’

Yes, you heard it right. During your mealtimes, try to keep aside your work and focus completely on your food. Chew your food properly and try to enjoy whatever you are eating. Sometimes, going out and have lunch in your favorite restaurant. But make sure to avoid greasy fast food options. Almost all good restaurants have healthy dining options to attract health-conscious customers; you can always choose something from that category.

        4. Eat and meet

While distracted eating may lead to overeating or less eating, socializing during lunchtime has its health benefits. You can schedule lunch meetings as often as possible to make sure you get a good midday meal.

       5. A good plan rarely fails

A little preparation at the start of the week goes a long way. We always recommend to look at your weekly work schedule and plan meals accordingly. To make it more convenient, subscribe to our weekly Halal Recipe Box. If you are supposed to attend meetings in the morning hours, please pack some small portions of snacks with you. Planning ensures those snacks are healthy and not purchased from a vending machine.

       6. Finding time to exercise

It might seem impossible to find time to make regular gym visits if you are super busy with your work. But setting a specific appointment at the gym can motivate you to go. If you are absolutely unable to find time for gym visits, try to wake up a little early and do some exercise at home. 

Apart from following all the above-mentioned tips, please have at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep at night to have a fresh start in the morning.

Our team wants our customers to stay happy, stress-free, and healthy as we aim to provide them with easy, nutritious, and sustainable Halal food options while reducing food waste and bringing families together through cooking.
