How to Beat the Mid-arvo Slump
Break up your workday and make sure to take regular stretch breaks and a lunch time walk. This will help you get some fresh air, vitamin D & help prevent muscle strain from sitting for prolonged periods of time
Take time for yourself before and after work. Although this may be difficult due to long work, commute time & if pets/kids/other family members require our time, it’s important to try to carve out time for yourself. A short strength circuit or yoga flow before work, having a bath or face mask are some great ‘me time’ activities
Snack on foods that are high in fibre, protein and moderate in fats such as roasted chickpeas, a serving of nuts, carrots and hummus, wholegrain toast with chia jam and apples with almond butter
Eat a lunch that’s balanced in macromolecules & low GI to regulate blood sugar and to ensure you have long lasting energy to keep you awake till the clock hits 5pm (home time!)
