Outside Food & Health
Summers are at their peak in the Delhi-NCR region. When it comes to eating out, I feel hesitant and skeptical due to the fear of food poisoning or a bad stomach.
Three weeks back, I started playing badminton in the evening, and it became challenging for me to return home and cook my dinner. I ended up either skipping my dinner or eating outside. It took only a few days for me to come to a realization that I was stuffing junk into my stomach which led to problems like nausea, bad stomach, pukish feeling, and fatigue.
For the first week, I blamed it on the change I was trying to adapt to. But soon, I realized it was a mere excuse, and it was the outside food that was causing health problems. You know every little change takes a few days to let you settle, and so did this change. I decided to manage cooking at home even on days I go for badminton and it did wonders. I understand not everything can be achieved within 24 hours if you have to live a healthy life.
Finally, I started prioritising eating habits that may be a quick meal, but it should be homemade. For quick meal options, I relied upon Upma, Paneer Paratha, Besan Chilla, noodles (I know that's not a healthy option but few days are too lazy to act upon as a responsible adult), mango shake, vegetable pulao, curd and more to be explored. Sometimes it feels liberating to come to the office and leave for home without any worry of work but it becomes taxing due to travel and spending the whole day out and then focusing on physical activity when you have dreams to chase and they are the ones who suffer the most.
Tell me how you manage your dreams and work.
