How to Fill Nutritional Gaps Caused by Hectic Lifestyles


We all know we should eat more greens. But the reality is life gets hectic and priorities change. Who has time to make a huge super greens salad when a work meeting runs over time, the kids have soccer practice and your wife is at a conference? Hey, I know all about it. This is the reality of our lives in our frantic, non-stop world. We’re only human and can only do so much.

Yes, it can be tough to eat well every day but that doesn’t change the fact that not getting the nutrients we need is detrimental to our overall health and well-being. It’s the days when we are most stressed, most harassed, and scrambling to catch up that we most need to look after ourselves. Those are exactly the days when we should be taking a few minutes to meditate, the days when we should not miss our workout and when we definitely need to be staying hydrated and eating properly.

How Can I Eat Well When Life is So Busy?

So, how do we fill the nutritional gaps that are created when life gets busy? It’s helpful to think ahead and be ready with quick and easy meals and snacks that you can prepare quickly and eat on the fly. There are all kinds of strategies to employ that will help you organise your shopping and meal prep to improve your chances of eating well all week long. Get your family to help prepare meals in advance (or to take on responsibility for making a meal or two a week), make use of your slow cooker, and freeze leftovers for quick meal options later in the week. Quick and easy does not have to mean grabbing greasy fries at the fast food drive through. You can change this with a simple greens powder.



Greens are Critical

No matter what your lifestyle looks like, you can’t afford to skimp on good nutrition based on clean, whole food. Central to good, clean eating is including lots of green vegetables and dark leafy greens. Packed with micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants), greens are low in carbs and high in fibre. There’s no need to worry about causing an insulin spike even after eating a heaping plateful of greens. Micronutrients gradually increase your wellbeing over time and help your body’s immune system stay strong so you are better able to fight off infections and recover from injuries or illness.



Reach for a Healthy Snack

It’s inevitable that at some point during your day you’re going to get peckish between meals. Think ahead and make sure you have a stash of healthy snacks on hand so you aren’t tempted to scarf down a donut when your tummy starts to grumble. Tuck an apple, a boiled egg and some almonds in your desk drawer and you’ve got a handy, good-for-you alternative on hand when you need a quick something to hold you through the next meeting. There are many superfoods available, but don't get confused as many times these superfoods are a marketing ploy. You still need to know what you're getting and ensure what you're getting is going to work. This is where a super greens powder can help plug that gap you've created with a busy, hectic lifestyle.
