64 April 2016 www.womanthismonth.com showcase When you think about a typical office lunch, it’s usually one of two things: expensive and calorific or cheap and… calorific! And those who are disciplined enough to organise a packed lunch can eventually face boredom with the same cheese sandwich day in day out. With a limited choice for a quick, yet healthy option, Bahrain Specialist Hospital’s new healthy lunch is a blessing for those committed to a 9-to-5 schedule. Now you can make healthy choices and maintain a good routine in your diet, without having to sacrifice time or excessive amounts of cash. The Healthy Lunch programme is designed uniquely for you; after an initial consultation with the hospital’s certified dietician, you are set for the whole working month with delivery direct to your office. In addition to signing up to the programme, there are other things you can do at the office to support your healthy eating and wellbeing: 1. Prioritise a good breakfast to avoid an energy slump and caffeine or sugar fixes. 2. If you drive to work, park further from the entrance to the office if possible. This will increase your daily step count and avoid the stresses of trying to find a close parking space. 3. Opt to take the stairs to your office rather than the elevator. If your floor is too high, walk up a few flights and ride for the remaining floors. Maybe set a personal goal of walking an extra flight of stairs each week. 4. Drink one-to-two litres of water during the day, rather than the evening. This will ensure you stay hydrated during the day and have a less disturbed night’s sleep due to bathroom visits. 5. Keep healthy snacks in your office drawer. A good choice would be high-fibre biscuits, unsalted mixed nuts or dried fruits. The Healthy Lunch programme costs BD75 inclusive of consultation and delivery. Call 17 812-000. Finding it hard to eat healthily at work? This programme has the answer.
