Here are few tips  for the busy executives who are constantly  on the go and work under stressful conditions:

  1. Water- Think of water as a food group in your diet.Always carry a bottle of water in your bag  to keep yourself hydrated as well as active throughout the day.sometimes we do not realise that we just need a glass of water and instead think that we are hungry, so drinking water frequently will save you from over eating but avoid roadside vendors  for juices and unpacked water.
  2. Breakfast- never miss your breakfast even if you are in a hurry,it should be the heaviest and the healthiest meal of the day as it not only boosts up metabolism but also increase concentration levels and charge your body for the day ahead,moreover it will drag you away from unhealthy eating on the way to your office.
  3. Avoid eating at late night -responding to official mails and calls  may demand your time but  that does not make you eligible  for snack  reward,specially avoid coffee and caffeine containing colas for peaceful and sound sleep.
  4. Avoid sugary  drinks while socialising, read labels carefully and look for  latent names of sugar like maple syrup,corn syrup,cane juice,glucose etc.Also avoid processed and prepackaged foods to cut back on salty snacks .sugar and salt are  the main culprits for giving us bigger waistlines and therefore threat to our hearts.,Not only this processed food may result in constipation.
