[Armaan]

Most working women goof up big time on right intake of diet. Here are a few tips

Earning a good career, a good position is always dream for every workaholic!

Handling umpteen things like meeting targets, maintaining schedules, meeting deadlines, travelling--it drains you out for sure. And if you are a working woman, stress is most common as you are juggling work and home.

When under stress, the most common health disorders in women are anaemia or Iron deficiency and protein deficiency. Many working women take their food habits for granted, indulgence into junk food increases which is only taste and no nourishment. The reason is they are running short of time to carry home-made food or are shy/lazy of carrying a lunch box. And, when it is stress at work, women do get into tendency to eat less or eat too much and that too not eating right which leads to malnourishment. And many times, when loaded with too much work, you end up skipping lunch as well, followed by indulging in unhealthy food.

So what should the working women do to focus on diet? For most working women, it is essential to have atleast 750ml of milk in entire day, sprouts or boiled pulses should be included in diet atleast twice a week, 150 grams of cooked daal in one of the meals is important to overcome protein deficiency and green leafy vegetables to be included to overcome anaemia. Also, honey with milk is a good option to stay fit and avoid nutritional deficiencies. Also, include fresh fruits, salad, a healthy breakfast and drink lot of water — it surely helps you beat the stress.
