Our work hours increase, our responsibilities and proportionally the lunch time shrinks every day.

Our health suffers, and soaring cholesterol and triglyceride levels, fatigue and poor concentration are the first symptoms of major complications in the medium term.

Maintaining the body with a not only balanced, but regular diet is possible if you take some of these snack ideas that you can hide on your desk or in the office refrigerator.

  • Nut and Blueberry Mix: Buy a large jar of mixed nuts, and empty a little. Purchase blueberries and mix them with these. Walnuts and blueberries have an important energy supply, as well as antioxidants and essential vitamins. The mixture of flavors is extremely pleasant, as well as serving as a "stand-up" while you finish the report that your boss is waiting for, while he does have lunch.
  • Chunky vegetables: In a plastic container cut a selection of vegetables such as carrot sticks, celery, a couple of broccoli flowers and cauliflower. You can make a low-fat cream cheese dip with parsley and basil for a healthy treat.
  • Fruit salad: We recommend you visit our section fruits of the month, and from among them choose those that are seasonal. One day a week, take a few moments and cut, for example, a sweet pineapple, a melon, and add grapes in a large plastic container. You can then serve small containers with this salad and eat it before entering a meeting that you know will not end for a while. We do not recommend using fruits that oxidize quickly such as apples or bananas, which should be eaten as soon as you open them, since they not only lose their flavor but also their texture.
  • Homemade granola: Homemade granola has many advantages over what you buy in supermarkets, and that is if you use agave honey, you know that you will be using a healthier honey with a lower glycemic index and slow absorption in your body. You can use any of the following ingredients in the combinations that your creativity and taste allow you. Oatmeal, Coconut Zest, Filleted Almonds, Assorted walnuts, assorted dehydrated fruits such as raisins, blueberries, blackberries, apples, mango, among others; a little almond oil, and maybe a spice like cinnamon.

The most important thing is that you get used to your body to eat at the same time. Set an alarm for these snacks, the same alarm you use to set the meeting that you do not want to attend, but must.
