5 Ways to Live a Healthy Lifestyle in the Office

As winter draws closer and the mornings and evenings get darker, it can become a challenge to motivate yourself to keep fit and healthy. You put off starting that healthier diet until Monday, convince yourself that you will go to the gym tomorrow or treat yourself to that 4th cup of coffee to stop yourself going into hibernation. But fear not! Staying healthy doesn’t have to be such a struggle or a huge change. Even the little changes here and there are enough to make an impact and get you on route to a healthier lifestyle.

To help you, we’ve come up with 5 simple ways to live a healthier lifestyle starting from right here in the office.

Ins and Outs of Shoreditch : October

Ins and Outs of Shoreditch: October

The rain is pouring and the leaves are turning, it’s safe to say that Autumn is officially here. Get those jumpers out and prepare yourself for the cosy evenings ahead! We’re back with the monthly scoop of what’s hot in Shoreditch so wrap up and get yourselves down there!

Louie’s

Transport yourself to Nashville, Tennessee to savour the taste of the famous Nashville-style chicken at Louie’s. Found beneath the all-American Red Dog Saloon in Hoxton Square, Louie’s low lit, leather booths makes the experience all the more authentic. Keeping the menu as close to a typical Nashville experience as possible, you’ll find they offer chicken and only chicken. Your most important decision will only be how hot you want your chicken with a scale ranging from ‘mellow’ to ‘hell’. Serving chicken in all kinds of ways, pick from wings, a burger packed with ‘slaw ‘sammich’, or thrown on top of a waffle with butter & maple syrup.
Wash your chicken down with a liquor infused milkshakes, one of their classic Southern US-style cocktails including a rum punch and some house-made Lynchburg Lemonade. The best bit? You can order these as a punch bowl to share with everyone at your table!

Pasta Nostra

Finally some great tasting fresh pasta in East London! Pasta Nostra are bringing you the best they have, offering fresh pasta and Italian small plates. They’re keeping it simple with a limited menu that’s big on flavour. They make fresh focaccia every morning and other starters include Burrata with pressed sorrel and cucumber salad or aubergine Parmigiana.
For a lunchtime treat, they also offer a great deal on takeaway: £10 takeaway deal for a dish of pasta, house focaccia and mixed leaf salad. Their Espresso Bar is also a great shout if you’re looking for a late afternoon pick-me-up, with Italian roasted coffee to go.
