The Art of Strategic Eating

Was reading this article offered by holistic nutritionist Lara Jay Hequet, wanna share with you:

1. If you have a post-lunch meeting & need to be on your toes?
   Have a small protein & green meal such as beef, prawn or pomelo salad, so that you have the protein to sustain you & the greens for nourishment.



2. If you have little time for lunch after a lunch-hour gym session?
   Go for a complete vegetable juice with flaxseed & omega oils. If you take a good juice such as carrot, celery & apple combination that contain minerals & vitamins to hold & nourish you, you won't be hungry & enables your digestive system to relax. A full meal 1.5 hours later is recommended.



3. If you need a snack to sustain you until late dinner?
   Eat a hard-boiled egg or sweet potato as both have the B vitamins & fat you need. Eggs are great mind food & sweet potato is the same.
   
   
4. If you are jetlagged?
   Have a vegetable juice, an apple or two, &/or a raw vegetable salad. Being up in the air is not a normal state for us to be in as it affects your digestive system. The more heavy food you feed it, the already stressed digestive system is going to work overtime & gets weaker. With natural & raw food, you won't tax your digestive system further. You should do this for at least a day.
   
   
5. The best all-rounder food?
   The apple has everything - minerals, vitamins, fibre - you need & sustains you better than anything else.
