Health Briefs TV on Why Lunch Hour Can be a Healthy, Fun Hour



Let’s face it. Going to a fast food restaurant several times a week can take a toll on anyone’s budget. And making the same lunch every day to eat at the desk can be a bore. Health Briefs TV offers some healthy lunch ideas to make that break time something to look forward to.

One of the first things to change up is the way a home-brought lunch is stored and carried into the office. If this is something you do every day, why not invest in reusable containers in different sizes and colors? There is something available for almost any kind of food or condiment. Bring your own silverware, wash it when done and store in a desk drawer so it is always there. It’s also a good idea to bring your own water bottles filled with water to work. This reduces the amount of plastic being tossed in the trash. And in most cases, one can add ice cubes, lemon or other citrus wedges into the bottle for flavor.

Healthy lunches can be shopped for and premade on the Sunday. Think whole wheat pasta salads packed with sautéed veggies, fresh parm, feta or goat cheese. Chicken tenders are also a great lunch idea and pack extra protein for the remainder of the day. Lean or low-fat deli meat and cheese on flavorful thin breads are also a nutritious option. Health Briefs TV also suggests cleaning, slicing and storing fresh fruit in different container so all you have to do is put on in an insulated lunch carrier. Make healthy, fun and flavorful lunches every day for work. Save money and improve your health. Take a walk after eating to get the body a chance to loosen up.
