Your body is the vessel of the Holy Spirit, and that ship must be in
good repair in order to work at maximum efficiency. That means if you
want to do your best work you need to make sure your body is healthy and
your mind is clear.
One of the most insidious problems for writers is that of maintaining a
proper weight. Being overweight, and having a sedentary life, inhibits
circulation. Good blood circulation to your brain is essential to the
creative process. Here are some tips that will help you from being a
victim of slow but deadly weight gain.
1. Make time to cook and eat healthy meals. Many busy writers like to think that if they just take another 30 minutes on their project that it will be better than ever. But a half-hour quickly becomes an hour, and one hour becomes two. Soon fatigue sets in and rather than prepare a decent meal, you settle for some quick unhealthy food.
Many writers know that the antidote to this problem is cooking healthy meals on an off day like a Sunday afternoon. You can prepare a week's worth of food in just a few hours, so when it's time to eat later in the week, you can dip into your storehouse of good food rather than eating quick junk food. In doubt about what is embodied in a healthy diet? Check out a website like LifeHack.com which offers a list of 100 quick, healthy meals.
