Many people eat lunch fast, at their desk, in front of a computer. But a good lunch gives you energy for the whole afternoon. Here are some simple ideas.

Half a Plate of Vegetables

Make half of your plate vegetables or salad. Put some protein on one quarter: chicken, fish, eggs, beans or tofu. Put rice, bread or pasta on the last quarter.

Bring Lunch from Home

Food from home is often cheaper and healthier. Cook a little more for dinner and take the rest to work the next day. A good lunch box helps!

Drink Water

Drink water with your lunch, not sweet drinks. Keep a bottle of water on your desk, too. It helps you feel fresh in the afternoon.

Take a Real Break

Do not eat in front of your computer. Go to the kitchen, a park or a café. Eat slowly and talk to your colleagues. After lunch, take a short walk.

A healthy lunch is good for your body and for your work. What is in your lunch box today?
