It is essential to keep a tab on the intake of food that you consume during your working hours, as your body is at rest and does not burn calories at a faster pace.
Here are ten tips to keep yourself healthy while at work and effectively keep various lifestyle ailments at bay.
Hydrate Yourself Well
Hydrating yourself well during work hours is good for your overall health and productivity, and we cannot stress on this enough. Drinking a minimum of 8-10 glasses in a day and including fruits rich in water content such as watermelon and grapes is a good step towards hydrating your body. If you are too forgetful to abide by this rule, we would suggest keeping a filled bottle on your desk and keep alarm at regular intervals to remind yourself.
Healthy Lunch
A great way to stay healthy at work is to maintain a diet that is light, healthy and packed with lots of proteins. When at work, try including a wholesome meal for your lunchtime box. Pack a meal of soups, salads or veggies in your lunch for energy throughout the day. Psst... it also keeps the extra kilos at bay that may arise out of munching on junk food.
Take A Break
Yes, you heard it right. It may seem impossible to plug out and take a break on a busy day, but taking some minutes out is good for your health. Take some minutes out every day to regroup yourself and soak in some sunshine. Meditating quietly on your desk is a great option too to keep your inner Buddha alive amidst the chaos.
Limit Your Cuppa Coffee
While some swear by their coffee to keep them going throughout the day, it makes sense to limit your caffeine intake. Try to keep your coffee intake to one cup a day. Reducing sugar or cream in your coffee can be a good option to keep those pesky calories in check.
Never Skip On Your Breakfast
A good breakfast can provide you all the energy that you need to sail through the day. Eating a healthy and nutritious breakfast in the morning is a good way to maintain a healthy demeanour.
Stand More
Studies have shown that it is much better to stand than sit. It helps to burn your calorie and keeps you fitter. So, take every opportunity to stand often than sitting for long at your desk.
Avoid The Temptation
We understand it is quite difficult to avoid those sugary snacks and chocolates that seem to be everywhere in the office. But a great way to cut down on calorie and avoid sugary lows and highs is to replace it with some healthy snacks such as dried fruits, fruits and salads instead.
Keep Your Cubicle Clean
It is said that an average work-station has much more bacteria than a toilet seat. We spend a large portion of our time enclosed in these cubicles, so it makes all the more sense to keep the work-station clean. Keep a box of sanitizing wipes and sprays at your desk to keep your desk clean.
De-stress Yourself
It is important to de-stress yourself and take a vacation every now and then to keep yourself inspired and going at work. This is the most important tip in keeping yourself healthy during work.
Keep A Tab On Your After-work Drink
After-hour drinks are a great way to know your colleagues better, but they also increase the empty calorie intake. Do yourself a favour by being mindful of after-work drinks.
