Stuck between four walls all day?

Are you - because of work or study - doomed to spend a major part of the day inside? Attention: you may have a deficit of sunlight and fresh air. So below a number of tips especially for you:

• Whenever possible, go outside for a little while every couple of hours. Make it a habit to go for some fresh air during your lunch break.
• Vitamin D is essential for a good memory.
• Replace coffee and black tea by water, diluted fruitjuice, rooibos or green tea.
• Take an early lunch rather than a late one, to prevent you from craving and grabbing the wrong food or snacks.
• Always carry a healthy snack with you, like some dried fruits (dates, apricots, prunes, raisins) or unsalted nuts (walnuts, almonds, raw cashew nuts)
• Bring some variety into your lunch pattern; don't always take the same standard-lunchbox with cheese sandwiches... Be inventive; make your lunch attractive and add a lot of bright colours, like salad, tomato, fruit... make it attractive to look at and to taste!
• And, in case you really couldn't manage to step outside for a while in between: make sure that you compensate for that before or after your work or study; spend some time in the fresh air, ride your bike, take a stroll, do a bit of jogging....
