Are Americans the Most Productive They Can Be in the Afternoon?
Blimpie Subs &
Salads Sponsors Lunchtime Survey
ATLANTA, Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- BLIMPIE Subs & Salads (Amex: BLM) recently
sponsored a survey that produced surprising results about how Americans feel
after eating lunch. The survey uncovered that a stunning 72% of the 1000
respondents questioned feel either more tired or the same after eating lunch.
The overwhelming majority did not feel rejuvenated or more energetic after
consuming their lunchtime meals.
So what do these statistics mean to us as individuals and to corporate
America? First of all, the most glaring analysis is that Americans do not eat
the right foods for lunch. We do not eat food that fuels our mental activity.
If we do not eat lunch that fuels our brain power, then what does that say
about the tasks we perform at work in the afternoon. Are we as efficient as
we could be in the afternoon? Are we working to the best of our ability?
"People simply feel better when they have good food in their stomach,"
according to Blimpie International, founder and CEO, Tony Conza. "People
think better and make fewer mistakes if they are filled with the right kinds
of food. That is why at BLIMPIE we use only the finest quality products."
Certain foods will cause our bodies to run better; however, one must make
the conscious decision to eat those foods and make it a habit in their life.
Sounds difficult? It isn't really. When you eat light, more nutritious foods
and like the way you feel, remember that feeling next time you reach for a
chocolate bar or french fries. Healthy food can make you feel vibrant and in
turn can increase your physical and mental activity both in your personal life
and in the office.
There are ways of making your lunchtime meal more of a power boost with
very little effort. Add a piece of fruit to your lunchtime routine, include
plenty of vegetables to any sandwich you may eat, and when you are eating a
salad be sure to add chicken or tuna -- both great sources of protein.
