Building Your Healthy Workplace Routine

Whether you work in an office setting or work from home, your job can take a toll on your mind and body if you don’t take the extra steps to manage your self-care. According to experts, sitting for too long can lead to muscle tightness, weight gain and other health problems. Add in sodium-filled snacks and stress and the workplace can become a recipe for disaster for your health. The good news, however, is that there are many simple, convenient ways to begin building a happier, healthier workplace routine.

Battle the Bulge: What’s Your Workplace Food and Beverage Routine?

Many office break rooms are filled with sugar or salt-filled snacks like donuts, cookies and chips. These high-calorie foods offer little nutritional value and spike blood sugar, leading to other health issues. Instead of indulging in these unhealthy workplace treats, here for are few tips for how you can satiate your belly without cheating on your diet:

  • Plan out your meals. Meal prepping is trending because it helps people to avoid skipping meals or feeling sluggish. Bringing your own food and drinks to work can ensure that you stick to a healthier meal plan.

Staying Active: Your Healthy Workplace Movement

Many businesses like Google have begun to renovate their office spaces to promote healthy mental and physical activity. This includes transitioning to standing desks or installing other fun office playgrounds, rock climbing walls, or interactive game rooms. While your workplace may not feel as lavish, you can still consider using these simple methods to add some extra movement into your day:

  • Take advantage of opportunities to move. Whether it’s getting up to stretch or fill up your water bottle, staying active can help you to keep the oxygen in your blood flowing. Extra Vitamin D bonus points for taking a walk outside!

  • Interact with others. Social activity can be just as important for your health as physical activity. If your office has a foosball table, take some time for a 5 minute game, or take a coffee break with your favorite coworker. Yoga sessions with your team might be fun.

  • Remember “healthy mind, healthy heart”. Sometimes staying healthy means keeping your mind sharp. Take breaks to refresh your mind with some artistic creativity. Maybe you can put together some artwork and decorate your cubicle.

Creating your workplace routine can be fun! Spend some time to figure out the best way for you to enjoy staying active, nourished and high-spirited in the office. This way, you’ll have no issue staying happy and healthy at work. Best of luck!
