3 Ways to Prevent Weight Gain If You Have to Sit All Day for Work

Dream - Working indoors all day, having to sit in front of a laptop and very minimal movement, has a very negative impact on health. Especially if there is more lounging on weekends.

"Because the human body is created to move and engage in regular activities. When there is too much sitting and minimal physical activity, body weight will drastically increase."

Not to mention if you consume a lot of snacks and unhealthy food. Risks of high blood sugar and blood pressure arise, which can lead to a series of diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

"For Dream friends who work a lot in front of a laptop and have minimal physical activity, of course, it is necessary to change their lifestyle to be healthier. Don't let your job, which forces you to sit all day, make your weight keep increasing. Rujuta Diwekar, a nutrition expert from India, shares three tips for maintaining an ideal weight even when working while sitting. What are the tips?"

1. Always Have Breakfast

Breakfast in the morning is very important. Don't forget to have breakfast before going to the office. Choose a breakfast menu that is low in sugar and carbohydrates but high in protein, such as boiled eggs or chicken breast.

Diwekar suggests having breakfast in the morning so that the craving for sweet food in the hours before lunch can be suppressed. In addition, breakfast is a source of energy to keep you enthusiastic throughout the day.

2. Avoid Consuming Stimulants

Apart from breakfast, consuming stimulants such as tea, coffee, or cigarettes is not recommended by Dr. Diwekar. Consuming stimulants like tea, coffee, and smoking in the morning will indeed make the body more energized.

However, in the afternoon towards evening, Sahabat Dream may feel weak and bloated due to the effects of the consumed stimulants. Instead, you can eat fruits, coconut water, fruit juices, or smoothies.

3. Eat Healthy Snacks in the Afternoon.

Eating snacks in the afternoon will prevent the stomach from feeling too hungry when going to bed after dinner, resulting in a better sleep. Diwekar suggests having snacks around 4 to 6 pm.

Need to pay attention to the snack menu. Avoid fried foods, or sweet and high-calorie foods. For example, Sahabat Dream can enjoy low-calorie sugar-free popcorn. Do not choose popcorn with caramel or chocolate flavor mixed with sugar. You can also consume salads and boiled eggs, nuts, or dried fruits. Report: Salma Rihhadatul Aisy/ Source: Food NDTV
