For a relaxing break

The lunch break should be a relaxing time to forget your work and recharge the “batteries” so that you stand active through the rest of the day. To enjoy more your lunch break now and then, you can choose something other than the classic, while admittedly tasty, sandwiches from a bakery shop in your neighbourhood. But what alternatives are there anyway? In fact, you can find many options if you put your imagination and if you actually want to improve your eating habits.

A LIGHT AND HEALTHY MEAL

A good alternative is the pasta salad. It is easy to prepare it at home from the previous night with the materials of your choice and you can keep it in a plastic box to transfer  it to your office and enjoy your lunch break. For a light and healthy meal you can prepare a salad of pasta with small tomatoes, corn and some grasses adding some anchovies for more intense flavour. Apart from being delicious, your lunch should also be complete and balanced. Try not to miss this meal, something which is wrong not only because it will reduce your mental alertness in the afternoon and will therefore affect negatively your work performance, but also because it will lead to devour whatever you find in front of you in the evening. Similarly, if you choose to enjoy a hot lunch, it is advisable to avoid heavy and not balanced nutritional meals. A key goal is to provide daily on your body adequate amounts of fibers. If you`re tired of the classic chef`s salad, a dish of pasta with vegetables, a soup or a portion of boiled spinach, are also good choices.

FRUIT FULL OF ENERGY

When the weather permits it and you are sure that the fruit you put in your dish is fresh, the fruit salad is a delicious and light option and can be an ideal alternative for lunch.
For an exciting new dining experience, you can add a tablespoon of grated ginger and a few mint leaves, two unusual ingredients that can give special flavour to your alternative meal that competes with the classic sandwich. The matter is, when you get up from the table, you may not have incurred but feel full of energy, something not difficult to be achieved, it is necessary to be able to overcome your responsibilities throughout the rest of the day.
