It’s been proven that stress and nutrition go hand in hand; so eating a balanced diet and leading a healthy life will make you less likely to be stressed out than someone on a poor diet. However, when time and money are tight, it can seem even more overwhelming to make the right dietary choices. If you approach your diet like you would your work calendar, plan it, shop accordingly, and organise your meals effectively. You can then not only save time and money, but also give your health an overall boost too.
Choosing organic ingredients can be costly so do the best you can, like buying organic grains, flours, pulses, seeds – items that may not be so much more expensive than their non-organic counterparts. They also have a longer shelf-life so they are less likely to go waste than fresh fruit and vegetables. When cooking meals make extra that can be packed and taken to work for lunch the next day or frozen for a quick meal when you are busy. Think of ways to re-use the same ingredients to avoid waste, for example, leftover quinoa from an evening meal can be used for quinoa porridge in the morning, chickpea and quinoa salad for lunch or stuffed peppers the next night.
