Lunch really important to you

Is Lunch necessary for you?

Lunch is an important meal in your day, so don’t skip it, even if you are tempted to do so.

Many people believe that eating a big breakfast means that lunch is unnecessary, but that’s simply not the case. When you don’t eat lunch, you are more likely to snack during the day on unhealthy foods or overeat at suppertime. Your body also becomes depleted of nutrients when you skip lunch, so it is better for you to always eat lunch. There are ways in which you can ensure that your lunch is fairly healthy, no matter what your specific needs.

Carrying a Lunch and Save Money:

If you are at work (Hospital :( ) or school over lunchtime, you can save lots of money by carrying a lunch rather than grabbing lunch from a fast food restaurant or hotel. Your own meals will also be more nutritious and, in many cases, tastier.


Frozen diet meals:

You can also consider stopping at a supermarket and picking up frozen diet meals for lunch as well. These meals are usually low in fat and high in nutrition and come in enough varieties for you to have a different lunch every day of the year. This option is sometimes a bit more expensive than making and packing your own lunch, but it can still be fairly inexpensive.

Warning:

Remember to look at the packaging to determine the best frozen meals for you. Some are not made for those looking for a healthy diet, and although they may taste good, they will be full of preservatives and calories.


Tips for Lunch Food:

  • Try soups, pretzels, crackers with peanut butter, cereal bars, or instant oatmeal for lunchtime at the office.

  • Good choices for lunch include light meals, like wraps, sandwiches with wheat bread and light on the spreads, salads with light dressing, and fruit.

  • Avoid fast food, pizza, and bulky meals, unless you plan to be very active during the afternoon at work.

Lunch is important to your health!

Health is Wealth.

Three Deadly Eating Disorders

Healthy Eating:

Healthy eating is very important for our everyday lives, but unfortunately, many people develop problems with body image with prevent them from this healthy eating lifestyle.

Eating disorders vary greatly from person to person, but one thing remains constant—they are very detrimental to a person’s health. If you suffers from an eating disorder, it is important to seek help as soon as possible.


Anorexia:

Anorexia occurs when someone is overly concerned with weight and simply refuses to eat.

Someone suffering from this disease usually tries to hide it by discarding the food without anyone knowing, cutting the food into small pieces to make it look smaller, or lying about skipping entire meals. Anorexia is dangerous because it does not allow a person to lose weight in a healthy way. Cutting fat out of a diet is fine, but not getting enough proteins, vitamins, minerals, water, and other nutrients can make your body lose muscle weight and weaken.

 
Bulimia:

While you may notice an anorexic person losing lots of weight in a hurry, someone who has bulimia may or may not be losing weight. If a person has bulimia, he or she does not have the will power to give up foods, but instead vomits or uses laxatives after meals to rid the body of these foods. Like anorexia, this can rob the body of key nutrients, and it can also lead to problems in the digestive system, throat, and mouth, which are not made for regular induced vomiting.

Binge eating:

Binge eating is a combination of anorexia and bulimia in most cases.

A binge eater will, like a bulimic, not deprive his- or herself from food. In fact, someone who is a binge eater will eat enormous amounts of food in a single sitting, and often these foods are not high in nutritional value. Instead of vomiting, a binge eater will then refuse to eat at all and exercise rigorously for a day or two, but then slip into a binge once again. This leads to major problems with weight.

Eating disorders can affect both males and females, as well as people of any race, ethnicity, or age. Most commonly, victims of eating disorders are teen and young adult girls. Many people die every year due to complications with eating disorders, but if you or someone you know suffers from this problem, help is available.
