10 Quick Health Tips for the Office













































































































10 
Quick
Health
Tips
for
the
Office






















































































































































 
































































































































































































































































































1) 
Eat
breakfast.
Breakfast
sets
your
metabolism
for
the
day.
People
who
eat
breakfast
end
up
eating

less
during
the
day
than
those
who
don’t.



2) 
Take
your
breaks.
Breaks
=
peace
of
mind.
And
peace
of
mind
=
energy
and
focus.
Energy
and
focus

productivity.
Need
I
say
more?


3) 
Pack
your
lunch –
and
make
it
tasty
–
if
you
eat
things
that
don’t
taste
good
you
won’t
be
satisfied

and
you’ll
end
up
searching
for
more…like
for
the
cookie
downstairs
at
your
favourite
coffee
shop.


4) 
Eat
lunch
away
from
your
desk.
When
you
eat
your
lunch
while
responding
to
your
emails,
you
may

as
well
be
eating
your
emails.
While
eating,
it
is
best
to
focus
on
eating.
In
the
end,
you
will
better
digest

your
food.
You
will
also
remember
eating
your
meal
and
will
feel
more
satisfied
from
it.
Once
again,

preventing
the
need
for
that
cookie
downstairs.



5)
Be
careful
with
drinking
more
than
2
cups
of
coffee
per
day.
Trust
me,
you
don’t
notice
how
jittery

you
have
become
until
you
cut
down.



6)
Don’t
heat
your
lunch
in
a
plastic
container
in
the
microwave.
The
plastics
will
get
into
your
food
and

increase
your
risk
of
developing
cancer.
Please.
This
is
a
simple
one.
If
you
really
need
to
heat
your
food,

ask
your
company
to
buy
a
hotplate.


7)
If
possible,
bike
or
walk
to
&
from
work.
There
are
so
many
benefits
to
this
tip.
You
will
arrive
at

work
with
a
healthy
glow,
fit
in
your
exercise
for
the
day,
get
that
much
needed
fresh
air
before
you
sit

at
your
desk,
avoid
road
rage,
and
often
save
time
(bikers
and
walkers
don’t
have
to
deal
with
traffic
–
they
just
ride
or
walk
on
by).


8)
Drink
greens.
At
3pm
often
drinking
a
greens
drink,
such
as
a
chlorella
or
spirulina
mixture,
can
give

you
that
boost
you
need
to
keep
you
going
until
the
end
of
the
day.


9) 
Nuts
make
great
office
snacks.
They
are
full
of
protein
and
fat.
These
two
nutrients
help
sustain
your

energy
over
a
long
period
of
time.
When
you’re
energy
is
sustained,
you’ll
be
able
to
focus
and
be
more

productive.
A
high‐carbohydrate
snack,
like
crackers,
granola/breakfast
bars,
or
muffins
will
often
give

you
a
short
burst
of
energy…and
then
the
inevitable
crash…hence
the
need
for
that
third
cup
of
coffee.



10) 
Fit
your
exercise
in
before
you
get
home
for
the
day.
Home
is
comfort.
If
you
get
home
after
a
very

long
day
at
the
office,
the
comfort
will
lure
you
in.
However,
it
is
the
exercise
that
will
make
you
feel

better,
not
the
couch.
I’ll
say
this
again
–
get
your
exercise
in
before
you
get
home
for
the
day.
