Better Eating Habits for Better Lockdown Living

 

The pandemic has definitely taken a lot of adjusting, especially for those with kids at home who now find themselves tasked with taking care of the young ones while keeping up with work. In all that madness, it can be all too easy to overlook your health, especially when it comes to eating habits. With that in mind, we hear at Hubbelt thought we’d did into our collection of ebooks and audiobooks to bring you these eating tips:

 

 

Eat lighter meals more often instead of three heavy meals each day. The breakfast lunch and dinner model is a thing of the past, especially now. Not only do our busy schedules often not allow for three square meals a day, but studies have shown that eating smaller meals more often can help increase metabolism, ease digestion, and contribute to better overall health. Larger meals, on the other hand, are often tough to digest leaving us tired and listless for hours on end and occasionally leading to gastric distress.

 

 

Avoid the habit of eating late. It may be tempting to snack on the couch before bed, but your body needs time to digest while you’re eating, and oftentimes we try to go to bed before our body has time to do its work. Not only do we risk a difficult digestion process, but late night eating can actually keep us up a night when we’re trying to sleep, leading to a whole other range of problems.

Easy Steps to a Healthier Routine

Most of us have a routine that revolves around work or school, and oftentimes it’s far too easy to let that routine get a little unbalanced or completely out of control. Hectic schedules and stressful days can have a negative impact on our health, so here are three easy steps to achieve a healthier daily routine.

Wake up at the same time every morning. Our bodies function on a circadian rhythm that sets our sleep cycles, waking up at the same time every morning regardless of what time we go to bed may seem counter-intuitive, but it actually helps regulate sleep and prevent those sleepless nights.

Plan out meals for the week. It may be difficult to find the time to cook every day, but fast food and vending machine snacks certainly don’t do us any favors. Batch cooking is a great way to ensure healthy meals all throughout the week, and packing some fruits and vegetables to replace salty and sugary snacks will go a long way to help overall health.

Keep work at work. If you work a 9-5, try to make sure you only work from 9 to 5, and when you punch the clock, try to leave anything work-related behind you. Work can be a major source of stress, and taking that stress home with us at the end of the day never helps. Consider a reset, perhaps a good audiobook on the commute home!
