Having a balanced diet is difficult. For those who work outside it is an even greater challenge. Lunch is a calorie sandwich and snacks are snacks and sweet biscuits. And what about working all day sitting in front of the computer? Extra pounds, lack of disposition, pain and impaired vision are common problems in several professions. Are you in this too? With these six tips you will see how easy it is be healthy in the office.
Ventile o local
A supportive healthy office routine starts there. Leave the windows open even in winter to avoid spreading cold and flu viruses. Working in a ventilated place is also great for feeling more alive. Who never felt better after feeling a fresh breeze on their face?
leave everything tidy
Do you feel lost in a messy place? So imagine working under these conditions. Leave only what you need on the table.
don't forget the water
What about people who forget to drink water… Needless to say that's bad, right? A hydrated body works properly, so drink at least 1 liter of water daily. Leave a bottle on the table and, if necessary, stick a post-it note on your computer to remind yourself.
Be careful with posture
Know what the correct posture looks like:
- Leave your feet flat on the floor;
- Back on the back of the chair;
- Relaxed shoulders and elbows forming a 90º angle.
take breaks
Get up every 60 minutes to stretch your legs and unwind. Stretch and if the company has sessions of labor gymnastics don't run away from them.
Have lunch and healthy snacks
Eating well is good for the body and increases productivity. A great idea is to take a healthy lunchbox for work with good carbohydrates (brown rice, sweet potato, manioc and manioc), vegetables and lean protein (fish, poultry, eggs and soy).
For dessert and snack, invest in strawberry, kiwi, peach, grape and oleaginous fruits (walnuts, chestnuts and almonds), as they boost the brain. Dried fruit and a cereal bar are also good ideas.
Working is necessary and taking care of yourself is essential. See more wellness tips.
