And then there&#8217;s organising events, hosting meetings, chasing calls, running errands, finishing projects, drafting templates \u2013 the list is endless. It&#8217;s important to keep just as healthy in the workplace as we do outside of it \u2013 assuming you are, in fact, healthy outside of work. If you&#8217;re not, then perhaps these 8 ways to stay healthy at work can be your homework, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_moving_as_much_as_you_can\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Get moving as much as you can<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">There&#8217;s a pretty fine balance between resting and activity. Some people argue that being able to sit down all day is great, while others love being on their feet for a whole 8 hour day. Truth is, your healthiest bet is to get in a little bit of both.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21093\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/room-l9QPabiKKhw-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"best ways to stay healthy at work\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/room-l9QPabiKKhw-unsplash-1.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/room-l9QPabiKKhw-unsplash-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/room-l9QPabiKKhw-unsplash-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/room-l9QPabiKKhw-unsplash-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/room-l9QPabiKKhw-unsplash-1-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">If you&#8217;re in an office, chances are you spent a lot of time sitting. Chances are also high that you&#8217;ve got terrible posture. Bad posture has become something of an <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/getradiantlife.com\/poor-posture-a-modern-day-epidemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">endemic<\/a><\/span> in recent times, and so many cases are due to stagnancy at work. The easiest way to combat this is to move as much as you can. This might just involve pacing while you brainstorm, or leaving the desk to make and take phone calls. Clear your head and reset with a short walk to some desk stretches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Stand-up desks have grown in popularity. Either one of these, or a classic yoga ball at the desk, or just stretching out every now and then, is sure to keep you feeling more limber, awake and focussed.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_regular_breaks_%E2%80%93_if_thats_something_you_find_productive\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Take regular breaks \u2013 if that&#8217;s something you find productive<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">There is some debate among scholars as to whether or not taking <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/alankohll\/2018\/05\/29\/new-study-shows-correlation-between-employee-engagement-and-the-long-lost-lunch-break\/#301d6ca24efc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">regular breaks improves your productivity<\/a><\/span>, or just ends in inefficiency. Surely most employees would argue that taking breaks is one of the best ways to stay healthy at work, but is it really a viable option? We understand the skepticism \u2013 taking a 5 or 10 minute break for every hour you work could just translate to about an hour of time you&#8217;ve &#8220;slacked off&#8221; (if you&#8217;re working an average 8 hour day).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">However, the overwhelming majority of recent studies have revealed that, in general, regular breaks do make you a more efficient worker. Regular breaks decrease stress and lead to less employee burn-out in the long run. Think about it \u2013 if you spend 7 or 8 hours working solidly at your desk every day, you&#8217;ll be exhausted 5 days a week. Exhaustion leads to inefficiency, productivity loss, job dissatisfaction, and this in turns leads to an increase in employee absenteeism. It&#8217;s all related! So fill up your water bottle, have a chat with a coworker, or go for a lap around the office. Keep your regular breaks productive in ways other than work, and help your body and your brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_to_know_who_is_around_you\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Get to know who is around you<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">This might be a thing that comes easily to some people, but for others, getting to know people can be daunting. If you&#8217;re spending 35-40 hours with someone, having a good relationship really helps. Not only are you able to communicate better, thereby collaborate and perform better, but you&#8217;ll enjoy work more. So much of the time, the people you work with are what makes the job \u2013 or breaks it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21092\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"best ways to stay healthy at work\" width=\"5472\" height=\"3648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-1.jpg 5472w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-1-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5472px) 100vw, 5472px\" \/><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">So talk to your coworkers. What interests them? What&#8217;s their background? Where did they study, if they studied? What do they enjoy? Where have they travelled? Ask them questions that are relevant, or random. And be open as well. Start conversations with open-ended questions. If they don&#8217;t want to share, then that&#8217;s okay \u2013 you&#8217;ve just learned something about them, anyway. Balance respecting boundaries with being curious, and you&#8217;ll foster good relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bring_your_own_food\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Bring your own food<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Bringing a healthy lunch along with you will prevent the temptation of nipping out at 12.30 for something quick and deep-fried. Not only that, but you&#8217;ll honestly feel more efficient and put-together if you&#8217;ve organised food in advance. It cuts down the time spent crossing roads and deciding what to buy, which means you spend more time eating and relaxing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"> Meals high in protein and &#8220;good&#8221; fat have been linked to higher levels of energy, greater feelings of satiation, and general all round improved health. Egg and roast vegetable frittata, quick stir fry, or salad-packed sandwiches on grainy bread are all great choices. Better yet, cook larger portions of your favourite dinner meal and simply take along leftovers for the following day. If you have the discipline to meal prep, we applaud you!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Invest_in_employee_wellness\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Invest in employee wellness<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The best way to increase morale, maximise output and get the best results for your company is to invest in your employees.

Adequate water intake will maintain focus, keep hunger pangs at bay, and prevent fatigue associated with dehydration. It&#8217;s easy to just say &#8220;avoid caffeinated beverages and sugary drinks&#8221; but we know that for the vast majority of us, that coffee is what will get us through the morning. Whilst you should try and keep these sorts of drinks to a minimum, you should always be drinking water as well. It&#8217;s easier said than done, but remember that you can get water from tea, or spruce it up with some fresh fruit.

This could be plants, pictures, crafts or knick-knacks. Keep a sand timer on hand to time your breaks, or to just watch the sand fall soothingly. Have a lamp nearby \u2013 warm light is comforting light. Have a stress ball on-hand, or a photo of your kids or your mum or your dog. Keep something you made or bought and love within reach or sight. Play music while you work, either out loud at your desk (if you can) or through your headphones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Create an environment where you can work your hardest, but happiest.

Whatever struggle you might be facing \u2013 whether it&#8217;s something deeply personal, or you just didn&#8217;t sleep well, or something you saw on Facebook made you crabby \u2013 check in with yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21090\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/helloquence-5fNmWej4tAA-unsplash-1.jpg\" alt=\"best ways to stay healthy at work\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/helloquence-5fNmWej4tAA-unsplash-1.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/helloquence-5fNmWej4tAA-unsplash-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/helloquence-5fNmWej4tAA-unsplash-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/helloquence-5fNmWej4tAA-unsplash-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/helloquence-5fNmWej4tAA-unsplash-1-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Some people like to journal. Others like to paint, or talk things through, or listen to music. Whatever way you feel is the most effective way of getting your feelings out (provided it doesn&#8217;t endanger or intimidate anyone else), do that. If you&#8217;re at work and you&#8217;re having this bad day, it will probably only increase the frustration or feeling of being trapped that you&#8217;re experiencing. Try to reach out to someone around you and let them know your situation, if possible. If you don&#8217;t have that option, and you&#8217;re on your own, employ some healthy coping strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Deep breathing genuinely helps, so don&#8217;t scoff when people suggest it.
