5 Tips to be a Healthy Office Worker!

Dis­ci­pline is one of the impor­tant things you need to be suc­cess and pro­duc­tive at work.  What we need other than dis­ci­pline, and most often for­got­ten, is our health.  You, your­self is a resource by its own.  Your health gov­erns your abil­ity to work and deliver out­put.  With­out a healthy body, you will not be able to deliver what you promised or dis­ci­plined to do.  There­fore, it is impor­tant for us to keep our­selves at the tip top level for every­day chal­lenges.  We’ve got five tips that you can do to keep your­self at the healthy level.

1. Drink more water – Plain water.  Not soda or caf­feine.  Plain water is good and essen­tial for your body to work prop­erly.  From our biol­ogy classes, you should have known that most of our body mass is water and water is required to remove impu­ri­ties from our body.  There­fore, it’s essen­tial to con­sume appro­pri­ate amount of water through­out the day.
2. Visit the loo on time – Don’t hold your blad­der just to sit through the meet­ing or to com­plete piece of work.  Let’s admit it, some of us do that.  You may have com­pleted the work on time and on momen­tum, but this will even­tu­ally hurt your body in the long run.  Hold­ing the blad­der is unhealthy for the body.
3. Avoid stay­ing in air-conditioned rooms for long hours – If you are liv­ing in a trop­i­cal coun­try that has a weather that is totally unpre­dictable, where it can cold in the early after­noon, extremely warm in the mid after­noon and back to cold in the evening, you can run into the risk of virus infec­tion.  Air-conditioned envi­ron­ments are usu­ally dry and con­tain dust that can cause nasal allergy.   Also, with a cen­tral air-conditional sys­tem run­ning in the build­ing, it is vul­ner­a­ble to the “sick build­ing” symp­tom where viruses or ill­ness can be spread eas­ily with the cen­tral system.
4. Occa­sion­ally go for a light diet – Too much burg­ers and fries will build large amount of unnec­es­sary car­bo­hy­drate in your body.  Main­tain a light diet.  Take less meat.  Take more veg­eta­bles and fruits.  You need a bal­ance diet that con­sists of bal­ance nutri­ents in take.
5. Stretch fre­quently – If you are desk-bounded and do not go out often, up and stretch!  Stretch­ing for 15 minute every hour is enough to com­pen­sate the lack of exer­cise at work.  Stretch­ing not only boost blood flow in the body, but also pre­vents the joints from degen­er­at­ing easily.

By doing all these sim­ple activ­i­ties at work, you can have a health­ier body to keep up to your daily needs.  Keep your body healthy at all times.  Remem­ber, no mat­ter how much plan­ning you made and effi­cient you are, you will still need a healthy body to deliver out­put.  There­fore, do not neglect your health and you be sure to get even more pro­duc­tive than you can imagine.
