Culturally we tend to put more importance and thought toward dinner. We have recipes, planning, we set the table and take the time to look for a colorful, balanced and nutritious plate. Our lunch, on the other hand, can tend to look very boring, brown and often microwaved. It’s the busy part of our day and we just want to fill our stomachs and get our work done. The problem with this imbalance between meals is that lunch time is a prime time to continue to bulk up your immune system, fuel your body for productivity to finish the day with JOY verses exhaustion and a brain fog.
Cortisol flows through your body on a daily rhythm keeping your blood sugars in good standing to help with a productive day flowing into a good sleep. Foods assist in this Cortisol flow. When your food works against cortisol your body can feel chronically tired, with the added symptom of poor sleep at the end of an exhausting day.
To help with this, we start the day with protein (lean meat, nuts or nut butters, bone broth, protein smoothies, eggs) and wean the protein off as the day goes with the least amount of protein at dinnertime.
LUNCH is the perfect time to enjoy healthy proteins mixed with greens, fiber and fresh or frozen fruit to that our blood sugars stay on track and the fog never sets in. Once we come toward dinner time we can continue with a colorful, happy plate with healthy carbohydrate and minimal protein to bring our bodies and minds naturally flowing toward sleep.
Help create a Lunch that feels like a daily PARTY for your body instead of a boring packaged detail to your work day. It will help your afternoon choices, productivity and your sleep at night.
