People
who are stressed at work tend to overeat. Comfort food really does help relieve
anxiety and tension, even when it is unhealthy. Health Briefs TV shares how to
stay healthy and fit at work.
It
can be really hard to focus on wellness when stress in the workplace is heavy.
Snacks are visible and most of them are not all that healthy. A bag of M&Ms
can really perk up a bad day. So can some chips and a hamburger with fries at
lunch. But none of this is healthy. Over time, it packs on the pounds and soon we
feel lethargic. It’s time to break out
of the bad habits and reduce stress in a healthier way.
Bring
your own lunch and snacks to work. A lean turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread
with low-fat cheese is better for us than that hamburger. Toss in a baggie of
healthy veggie chips to get the crunch and salty goodness. Grapes, snack size
carrots, bottled water and a small piece of dark chocolate can ease the stress
of any tough workday.
Take
a break. Go outside for 15 minutes and take a walk. Inhale deeply, stretch, let
the sun warm the back and neck. Smile. It’s amazing how this one short break
with a change of scenery can reduce tension in the body.
The
Health Briefs TV show suggests taking a longer walk at lunch time. Pick up the
pace and burn off some stress. Drink plenty of water when back in the
office. Stay healthy and fit during
times of high stress at work with these helpful suggestions.
