Staying Healthy At Work
It is all about taking care of your body. At your peak physical health, you should be full of life and energy instead of feeling miserable while sitting at your desk. When your body suffers, then other parts of your life are affected too. If your body isn’t taken care of properly, then that can lead to fatigue, low mood, lack of energy and bad mental health. These consequences can cause a sharp decline in the quality of the work you produce.
Sleep enough
This tip seems simple on paper, but in practice, it is much more difficult. Sleep is essential if you want to be able to function the next day. Get your necessary amount of sleep. Try preparing for the next day the night before so that you can sleep in a little more and have your stuff ready to go for work.
Exercise
After a long day at work, going to the gym sounds dreadful. Exercise is still important though because it releases endorphins and boosts your mood. Consider moving around during the day by taking short walking breaks around the office to get out of your chair. Try to walk outside during lunch for a little bit to enjoy the fresh air. Perhaps you could even take the stairs instead of the elevator some days.
Pack a lunch
The night before work, try to pack your lunch and include healthy homemade food. That way, you won’t be in a rush in the morning to make your lunch and you can make better choices about what to pack for lunch. Also, this reduces the temptation of going out to buy fast food and then eating it quickly during your break. You could also enjoy your packed lunch outside with coworkers.
More water, less coffee
Most people run on coffee and it is a staple item for every office. Although it provides a necessary jolt in the mornings, too much coffee can make you feel jittery and have trouble sleeping. Stay hydrated by drinking at least one cup of water for every cup of coffee that you drink. Also, don’t drink more than two or three cups a day and try to drink those cups before noon. That way, you can lower your caffeine dependence and stay hydrated. Your body will feel much better.
