One of the most common excuses people cite for not being in good shape relates to not having the time or the energy to do what it takes to be healthy.
One of the most common excuses people cite for not being in good shape relates to not having the time or the energy to do what it takes to be healthy.
This is particularly true of working professionals. Here are some tips to do regularly to ensure working women stay healthy.
Eat sensibly
Eat a good, filling breakfast in the morning. Lunch on salads and fruits, and avoid unhealthy, greasy food. As much as possible, avoid eating lunch at your office desk.
Leaving the office for a while will prevent you from overeating and provide you with a short break. Stay away from indulging in afternoon snacks, such as chips and chocolates, as that will spell trouble. Also, maintain a healthy eating schedule in the evenings.
Drink plenty of water
Being immersed in work means losing track of how much water you're drinking in a day. However, it's crucial that you drink enough to stay hydrated and active.
Dehydration can cause ill effects, such as drowsiness and sluggishness. It is always a good idea for an adult to drink between six and eight glasses of water everyday.
Depending on your level of physical activity and the climate in your region, you may need to consume more. Eating fresh, juicy fruits is a great way to beat dehydration and hunger pangs.
Maintain good posture
Maintaining good posture all day requires conscious effort. Most employees, who use computers, stare into their screen for hours and slowly get drawn into it.
This means they stretch their neck forward, which puts pressure on the neck and the spine. This can be avoided with the help of certain desk exercises. The most popular one entails chin retractions - or making a fake double chin -- to support the neck and upper back.
Take frequent breaks
We always want to finish our work so we can get out of the office on time. However, this does not mean that you should sit at your workstation for hours at a stretch and not allow yourself a break. You may think that taking a break will waste your time but taking a break can actually be productive.
Not taking a break from work can make you mentally lethargic and reduce your creativity. Make it a point to get away from your desk every now and again for a few minutes. The idea is to take a break; rejuvenate; and be more productive.
Learn to manage stress
Most of us lead hectic life's that can get to us from time to time. Juggling several roles and responsibilities on a daily basis can leave us exhausted, which is normal. After all, we're only human.
However, we can make it easier on ourselves by learning to manage stress. One great way to beat stress? Do enjoyable things. This can include spending time with family or friends, watching movies, reading books and going to the gym or the spa.
The idea is to relax your mind by taking care yourself and achieving a healthy balance.
