H2O, An Apple And Your Home Based Business

Sometimes we forget or simply neglect to follow what we already know in regards to healthy eating, running a home based business can throw up a few new healthy eating challenges. I’ve put together four areas to concentrate out, it’s easier then you think.

H2O
We all know, the experts say you need at least 6 glasses of water each day. So let’s knock them down real quick. One before breakfast, one when you sit down to work of a morning, one between morning tea and lunch, one between lunch and afternoon tea, one at dinner, and one before bed – done!

Morning tea
Ensure you have morning tea and afternoon tea, just because you are at home this doesn’t mean you stop work to bake a fresh batch of triple choc cookies, or run to the local bakery for some pastry, the healthiest and simplest choice is to have a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit, an apple, an orange, a bunch of grapes, delicious and effortless – yet so many people grab for processed foods because they are quick and easy!

Lunch
Once again you don’t want to be running to the takeaway shop for a hamburger, or chicken and chips, the healthiest and simplest choice is to prepare your lunch when you prepare your kids lunch in the morning or the night before, just as you would when you were working at a ‘real job’ at a ‘real office’. This doesn’t mean you must have a Vegemite or peanut butter and jelly sandwich (neither does your kids) plan ahead, save some left overs from the previous evening meal, it always taste better the following day!

Evening meal
Working from home allows you the time to cook better home cooked meals for you and your family. Use the time you save on traveling in traffic to create tastier, healthier meals, involve the kids they are fantastic at peeling and grating. I am still a fan of the slow cooker, or a good old soup, and it’s nice to be home to stir it every so often, plus it’s convenient to be home just in case the slow cooker catches on fire!

Working on these areas will ensure you maintain healthy eating habits without sacrificing valuable business time.
