Tips To Stay Healthy At Work
Sitting for more than 12 hours in front of your computer and working throughout the week can definitely take a toll on your health and can affect your work productivity. Most of us spend nearly 40 hours a week in the office space, which does make it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
You may be an active person, but your work schedule may not allow you to stick with healthy choices and keep a regular eating habit. Instead you might opt for a quick bite of high calorie junk. This will never help you to stay healthy while at work nor help you to focus. This kind of unhealthy food habits at your desk (like pizza, burger, candy or muffins) will only add on extra calories and can never make you feel motivated and happy.
Research has found that people who sit for long hours at their desk during the day are more likely to be overweight and moreover around 47 per cent are usually depressed and miserable.
WAYS TO PREVENT DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
Staying healthy while at work isn’t that simple and easy especially when you are around co-workers who keep sneezing and sniffing around you, making it impossible for you to maintain your health. Cold and influenza are caused by some viruses that can easily pass on from one to another when you sneeze and cough and this could affect your work productivity.
Some viruses even lurk on your phones or desks for three to four hours and can make it difficult to stay healthy while working for long hours. Here are some tips to avoid germs and to stay healthy while at work especially when you are at your desk all day.
Keep
a
journal
Keeping
a
journal
can
give
you
a
chance
to
record
all
good
things
that
happen
at
work.
A
study
has
found
that
people
who
wrote
three
optimistic
events
that
took
place
at
work
had
lower
levels
of
stress
and
lower
health
related
issues
such
as
headaches
and
muscle
tension.
This
practice
helps
you
to
focus
on
the
good
things
that
happen
around
you
and
to
stay
healthy
while
at
work.
Focusing
on
the
good
things
will
perk
up
your
mood
in
a
positive
way.
Wash
your
hands
often
Staying
healthy
while
at
work
isn’t
easy
when
you
don’t
follow
healthy
habits.
This
means
that
after
you
use
the
restroom,
before
you
munch,
when
you
cough
or
sneeze
make
sure
to
wash
your
hands
and
also
start
using
a
hand
sanitizer.
If
you
are
going
to
stay
long
hours
at
work,
make
sure
to
keep
a
bottle
of
hand
sanitizer
at
your
desk
and
rub
them
on
to
your
hands
frequently.
Eat
a
nutritious
breakfast
Most
people
prefer
to
skip
the
breakfast
due
to
lack
of
time
in
the
morning
or
in
an
effort
to
lose
weight.
It
is
a
known
fact
that
eating
breakfast
can
keep
you
healthy
throughout
the
day
so
make
sure
to
enjoy
a
nutritious
breakfast
like
fresh
fruit
slices,
oats,
cereal
and
a
slice
of
whole-wheat
toast.
Drinking
orange
juice,
skim
milk
and
plain
brewed
coffee
can
help
you
stay
healthy
while
at
work.
Skipping
breakfast
decreases
your
metabolism
so
whenever
you
don’t
have
time
to
eat,
make
sure
pack
your
breakfast
or
lunch.
Choose
a
healthy
lunch
Eating
brown
rice
for
lunch
offers
extra
dietary
fibre
and
has
many
health
benefits
compared
to
white
rice.
Eating
carrots,
cabbage,
green
pea,
broccoli,
and
grilled
chicken
regularly
for
lunch
can
keep
you
healthy
while
at
work.
Never
opt
for
another
cup
of
coffee
Avoid
opting
for
another
cup
of
coffee
when
you
want
to
stay
healthy
while
working
for
long
hours.
When
you
are
feeling
thirsty
or
down,
sodas
and
coffee
may
help
you
to
stay
awake
but
may
contribute
to
your
dehydration.
Water
is
a
smart
choice
since
it
removes
toxins
from
your
body
and
never
adds
on
extra
pounds.
Make
sure
to
avoid
high
calorie
sodas
at
all
times.
Burn
calories
at
work
Whenever
you
are
feeling
tired,
make
sure
to
get
up
and
walk
around
for
a
few
minutes.
If
you
are
looking
for
opportunities
to
stay
healthy
while
at
work,
make
it
a
habit
to
stand
or
move.
Stand
up
while
talking
over
the
phone
or
walk
to
other
cabins
to
pass
on
the
message
to
your
colleagues
instead
of
sending
emails
as
it
does
help
keep
you
in
good
shape.
Try
to
organise
a
walking
group
or
walk
up
and
down
the
stairs
if
you
want
to
burn
up
calories
and
if
you
want
to
stay
healthy
while
working
long
hours.
If you don’t have time to hit the gym, do easy and simple yoga. Try to do two minutes of breathing and stretching several times during the day. This can help you to stay healthy while at work and can increase your focus. These are some of the tips to maintain a healthy lifestyle at work.
