The Age of Information has given us modern conveniences like the Internet and smart devices. With these, information is readily available at our fingertips, keeping us connected 24/7. However, it has also changed our eating habits. To keep up with our busy lifestyles, we tend to eat less healthy foods. Eventually, this habit can affect our health and wellbeing.
Fortunately, there are many healthy diet options and ideas readily available. Following an organic diet meal plan can be challenging but is achievable. This article aims to help you change your eating habits and encourage you to go organic.
Breakfast
It the most important meal of the day. A good helping of organic produce can definitely satisfy your hunger. A serving of scrambled or poached free-range organic eggs with grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach is enough to keep you going until lunch. This kind of meal provides sufficient servings of protein and carbohydrates for energy. Aside from organic eggs and vegetables, fruits, cereals, pancake mixes and dairy can be added to your diet plan. Fruit smoothies with non-dairy milk are another good breakfast options. Boiled steel-cut oats in organic milk are also good alternatives. Add a few organic berries and a drizzle of honey to it and you will have a power-packed breakfast.
Lunch
A midday meal keeps us energised throughout the afternoon. Since we need nutrients like iodine and selenium in our diet, organically-fed farm fish make tasty treats. Marinate tilapia or catfish in lemon juice and ginger before grilling.
Pair it with steamed organic vegetables and organic cheese and you will have a hearty lunch. Some other lunch ideas could include chicken, tuna or a tossed green salad.
Stir-fried or grilled chicken breast with whole wheat bread sandwiches are excellent tummy fillers. If you want a light, yet, filling lunch, you can also opt for either an organic egg salad sandwich or a lentil salad with organic quinoa.
Dinner
Rethinking your dinner plate means changing your diet. A healthy dose of protein and greens can definitely make your meal better for you. Healthier cooking methods such as braising, steaming, poaching and baking fish, chicken or lean meat are encouraged. These dishes can be prepared in advance and stored in your freezer for future use. It is a practical way of preparing healthy meals for your busy work schedule. Eating is a pleasurable experience. Making healthy choices should not be a challenge and the food we eat will reflect on our body. Organic food will give our bodies the nutrients they need so start eating better today!
