Tips 55- Tips 65

55   Trade  baked  goodies  with  fresh  fruits.    

Pastries,  cakes  and  cookies  are  all  high  in  carbohydrates  and  sugar  which  can  lead  to  weight   gain.    Have  a  piece  of  apple  instead  or  any  other  fruit  in  season.


 

56   When  eating  out,  choose  the  healthiest  meals.      

Learn  the  art  of  choosing  healthier  meal  options.    It  can  also  help  if  you  share  your  meals   with  the  people  you  are  with  if  it  is  an  informal  gathering.


57   Avoid  using  condiments.  

Some  condiments  are  generally  bad  for  the  health  so  try  to  avoid  using  them  as  much  as   possible.  While  condiments  are  known  to  add  more  flavor  and  aroma  in  food,  there  are   those  that  come  fully  loaded  with  sugar  which  poses  serious  health  risks.

Here  are  some   pointers  on  what  you  can  use  and  what  to  avoid:

Enjoy  the  following  condiments:     •   Mustard   •   Hot  sauce   •   Vinegars   •   Cream  cheese   •   Worcestershire  sauce   •   Horseradish   •   Pesto   •   Soy  sauce   •   Sour  cream     Avoid  the  following  condiments:         •   Barbecue  sauce  •   Maple  syrup     •   Teriyaki  sauce   •   Ketchup     •   Cocktail  sauce   •   Regular  jellies  and  jams


58   When  travelling,  check  out  gym  facilities.  

Travelling  out  of  town  or  out  of  the  country  should  not  disrupt  you  regular  exercise  regimen.     Check  out  available  facilities  and  include  exercise  in  your  itinerary.    You  can  also  bring  along   a  few  simple  gym  equipment  like  skipping  rope  or  an  elastic  band  if  you  want  to  exercise  at   the  comforts  of  your  hotel  room.


59   Do  your  research  on  local  restaurants  that  offer   healthy  alternatives.

When  being  in  an  unfamiliar  place  it  can  be  all  too  easy  to  eat  what  is  convenient  and  readily   available.    To  help  you  stick  to  your  diet,  check  out  healthy  options  within  the  area.    You  can   always  ask  in  front  desk  for  assistance.


 60   Bring  your  lunch.  

Instead  of  grabbing  a  quick  bite  at  the  cafeteria  or  a  nearby  fast  food  chain,  bring  along  your   lunch  by  storing  it  in  a  brown  bag.    This  will  give  you  better  control  on  what  type  of  food  you   eat  and  how  much  you  consume.    It  can  be  good  idea  to  prepare  large  batches  of  meals  so   you  can  bring  along  extras  for  your  lunch.


61   Trade  your  recliner  with  an  exercise  ball.  

The  growing  trend  among  modern  offices  today  is  the  use  of  exercise  balls  in  place  of   ordinary  office  chairs.    This  is  a  perfect  option  for  people  whose  work  requires  them  to   spend  long  hours  behind  the  desk.    Exercise  balls  will  require  you  to  maintain  proper  posture   and  use  muscles  for  balance.    It  is  a  good  passive  workout  for  desk  bound  employees.


62   Use  your  break  time  wisely.

Instead  of  taking  a  nap  or  chatting  with  your  colleagues,  maximize  your  break  time  by  going   out  for  a  short  walk.    It  can  be  good  idea  to  bring  along  some  comfy  shoes  that  you  can  use.


63   Conduct  a  meeting  on  the  go.    

Instead  of  staying  cooped  up  in  the  conference  room,  maximize  time  by  conducting  your   meeting  outdoors  or  while  walking  towards  another  location.    This  will  not  only  save  you   time,  it  presents  a  perfect  excuse  to  stretch  your  legs  and  exercise.


64   Invest  in  a  pedometer.

This  is  a  small  device  you  can  wear  to  measure  the  number  of  steps  you  make  in  a  day.    This   will  help  you  keep  track  and  serve  as  a  reminder  all  throughout  the  day.    It  can  also  be  a   great  tool  to  you  reach  your  fitness  objectives  even  while  at  the  office  or  while  running   some  errands.


65   Learn  to  modify.    

Every  so  often  you  may  find  yourself  in  situations  where  it  is  difficult  to  stick  to  your  fitness   routine.    The  trick  here  is  to  learn  to  adjust  to  situations.    If  you  don’t  have  dumbbells  around   you  can  use  canned  goods  or  water  bottles  as  alternative  options.    Learn  to  make  use  of   available  resources  and  be  creative.
