But let me challenge this way of thinking: isn\u2019t it exactly at these busy times when you\u2019re juggling so much that you need to be on top of your game? Can you really afford to get sick or lack focus?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As you guys know, I\u2019m big on making it as easy as possible for everyone to eat nutritious meals every day, breaking down the barriers when it comes to changing up our eating habits. In my book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguthealthdoctor.com\/books\/\"><em>Eat Yourself Healthy &amp; Love Your Gut<\/em><\/a>, I troubleshoot the biggest hurdles we face: <strong>time<\/strong> (we all have those crazy busy periods when eating well gets pushed right down our priority list!) and <strong>access<\/strong> (depending on where you live and work, the options can often seem limited). Dull sandwiches and fast food should not be the only choices!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">That\u2019s exactly why I\u2019m teaming up with Feedr to make high fibre nutritious lunches more accessible &#8211; especially when you\u2019re in the office. I\u2019ll be sharing my tips on optimising gut health and improving overall wellbeing. I&#8217;ve also hand-picked a selection of <strong>\u2018Expert Choice\u2019 <\/strong>meals from their extensive list of options, indicating which ones your inner community of microbes are going to like best.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Now onto the bigger challenge of the NHS and public canteens!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>In the meantime, here are a few of my top tips to look after your gut at work<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Make sure there\u2019s always something on your plate for your gut microbes<\/strong>, even when you\u2019re ordering in for lunch al \u2018desko\u2019 &#8211; that is, a portion of plant-based fibre whether it\u2019s veggies, fruit, wholegrains, legumes, nuts or seeds. My Expert Choice meals now available with Feedr have you covered.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Try to establish a regular eating pattern and keep hydrated.<\/strong> Skipping meals may sound like a harmless idea. However, having an irregular eating pattern may in fact do more harm than good for some. This is because when we skip meals, we\u2019re more likely to overindulge at the next meal and, in doing so, add a large load of food into our tummies. Although the average adult stomach can expand up to four times its usual size, it\u2019s certainly not something we should be testing \u2013 particularly for those with gut symptoms or more active IBS. This is because the added pressure and nutrient load can trigger a cascade of tummy symptoms such as bloating, tummy pain and diarrhoea.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>There\u2019s no need to stress. <\/strong>We all go through busy times and it\u2019s important not to overthink it, as being mentally exhausted can often trigger some gut symptoms. Try to take some time in your day to relax, even 15 minutes a day with a mindfulness app can make a significant difference. I share de-stressing exercises in my book too, including my gut-directed yoga flow.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>What is Feedr?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Feedr is a platform that connects you to tasty artisan food vendors in London while you\u2019re at the office, so you can get meals with high-quality fresh ingredients where you work. It really is reviving office catering to make delicious and nutritious food accessible in a simple, effortless way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If you work for a company they may well have partnered up with Feedr already to bring you healthy meals in the office (and if so, look out for my <strong>Expert Choice<\/strong>\u00a0meals) &#8211; but if not, check them out at <a href=\"https:\/\/eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffeedr.co%2F&amp;data=01%7C01%7Cmegan.rossi%40kcl.ac.uk%7Cfdefbc8974fd43122f5108d74828c688%7C8370cf1416f34c16b83c724071654356%7C0&amp;sdata=Syzd1s6TiAgjIv8yR0ideZFtUZ4fs8mY3NSBNCVCNvc%3D&amp;reserved=0\">feedr.co<\/a>. And maybe give your boss a nudge&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">What\u2019s more, Feedr also donates a meal for a meal to the Akshaya Patra Foundation. So each time you place an order, you\u2019ll be donating another nutritious lunch to a school child in rural India. Just another way of giving back for a great cause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1604500269833_120\" class=\"row sqs-row\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1604500269833_119\" class=\"col sqs-col-3 span-3\">\n<div id=\"block-6017aa63810a4a8e8e2e\" class=\"sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-text-ready\" data-block-type=\"5\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1604500269833_118\" class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1604500269833_117\" class=\" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none \" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\">\n<figure id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1604500269833_116\" class=\" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic \">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1604500269833_115\" class=\" image-block-wrapper has-aspect-ratio \" data-animation-role=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thumb-image loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5cc72d36fb22a50bf7fb6d3f\/1570127162394-YQ8DWRK25TAZWRKR9XL1\/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kNPwQmhfBjelS5Y14FwOHUZ7gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z5QPOohDIaIeljMHgDF5CVlOqpeNLcJ80NK65_fV7S1UZQ9QxkkGYd9UNS4MVNdLrN0DDSdmUJlYakbKnbkYt5tSjbBNrbtIqOChUU05IIgtw\/Palm+Greens+-+Miso+Mushrooms+.jpg?format=1000w\" alt=\"Palm Greens -
