Healthy eating whilst on holidays is quite easy really. Aim for a serve of salad and vegetables and two serves of complete protein a day. Complete protein is comprised of the eight essential amino acids we must obtain from our diet as our bodies are unable to make them. Anything from the animal kingdom such as meat, eggs, cheese and milk or mixing a cereal and a legume such as baked beans on toast, or legumes with nuts is comprised of complete protein. Add in a few pieces of fruit and the right amount of water and you’re pretty much set. Probably the hardest mineral to get in good quantity whilst away is Calcium, especially if you are lactose intolerance. So I have recommended a few supplements to take with you.
It’s the day before you start work. Some of you will be itching to get back and share your holiday experiences. Others will approach this day with absolute dread. If what you feel is the later then try burning the essential oil of orange, tangerine, grapefruit and clary sage whilst getting ready for work (don’t forget to blow the candle out before you leave). This will have you feeling sociable and lighten your mood. And if you really hate your job that much, consider looking for another.
Don’t work back late on your first day back and in fact try to keep your first week as gentle as possible. Pointless having a holiday if you achieve burnt upon your return.
