How can you maintain a healthy lifestyle in the fast-paced world of food manufacturing?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle in the fast-paced world of food manufacturing involves prioritizing balanced meals, staying hydrated, and opting for nutritious snacks. Take short breaks for movement and stress management. Encourage workplace wellness initiatives and aim for sufficient rest. Strive for work-life balance, stay informed about health, and schedule regular check-ups. Small, consistent changes towards healthier habits can make a significant difference.

Read the Nutrition Facts Label/Panel. Many people fall for the deceptive marketing gimmicks used by the food industry on the packaging and fail to read the ingredients in the product. When you read the ingredients you might be shocked at what you are consuming.

Start small by trying to balance the triangle of: 1. Sleep/rest/relaxation - aim for 7 hours, 2. Stimulation/Exercise - aim for 3x per week, and, 3. Healthy food - develop awareness, and read labels..

One thing I find that helps my clients is to set goals around movement. I see great results with weight exercises. Some benefits are 1. Improved muscle strength and tone – to protect your joints from injury. 2. Maintaining flexibility and balance, which can help you remain independent as you age. 3. Weight management and increased muscle-to-fat ratio – as you gain muscle. And most importantly that feel good factor.

If you work in the food manufacturing field it's important you ensure that you focus more on movement. A combination of Walking/yoga and strength training is the best. Incorporating movement & exercise not only helps to improve fitness, it also increases focus and productivity. It also helps to manage stress and improve sleep.

Without quality sleep, food choices are impacted, there is little or no desire for exercise, productivity, cognition, mood and relationships are all negatively impacted. Sleep is the foundation. One key issue to achieve sleep is the ability to switch off stress and ramp down an overstimulated system. A racing mind coupled with addiction to social media has compounded “sleep issue”. Doctors can do little only to refer or medicate. The key is lifestyle modifications and the sleep will come.

Celebrate your success. Creating small achievable goals for the day can help you take a sight of relief when you get out of work and it helps you save the brain from burnout even after leaving work. Also tiny celebrations after big accomplishments and when you prevented a huge problem from occurring helps you keep stress at bay.

1. Walk after meals to aid digestion. 2. Drink water first thing in the morning to rehydrate yourself after a long night's sleep. Do this before drinking tea. These are two simple habits that will benefit you in getting your body back in shape.

Stick to your traditional foods rather than exotic foods. Add dietary diversity in your diet by adding variety of cuisines made from local seasonal vegetables and fruits

Staying hydrated and taking adequate breaks when necessarily needed, don’t put too much stress, this may slow down your productivity progress.
