Medical Video: 15 Everyday Things That Can Harm Your Health
If you work in an office, sitting behind a desk and looking at a computer screen is certainly the thing you do most often. Stress and job demands can only focus on your work, and not on physical health. If counted, you mean you can just do bad habits for 40 hours each week. However, don't worry, with only a few adjustments, you can change bad habits in the office that you often do, and create healthier conditions at work.
1. A messy table
Unkempt work areas can cause stress and cause work to be more inefficient. Even worse, your desk, cellphone, and computer can be a good nest for germs. Every week, try to clean your work environment. Arrange your work desk and place objects where they should be.
2. Poor posture
You might spend more time at your desk than anywhere else. So when you sit at your desk, it is very important for you to do it right. Adjust the height of the bench so that your feet can stand on the floor. In addition, your elbows and arms should also be in a 90 degree angle. Also adjust your computer screen so that your eyes are parallel to the top corner of the screen. Adjust the tilt of the screen so that it is slightly facing up towards your eyes.
3. Sit long in the same position
When you sit for a long time, your body can be considered as sleeping. For that, every once an hour, try to get up from your seat and walk, or stretch. This will flow more smoothly throughout your body and brain.
Don't miss every opportunity to get out of the table, you can also try to hold a meeting while standing. Instead of calling your coworkers or sending e-mail to them, try to walk and deliver your message directly. Research shows that this can improve your overall body health.
4. Gossiping
Drama in the work environment not only reduces productivity, but also can affect psychological health and stress those involved. Try to avoid gossip in the office, and if you get personal information about your coworkers, save it for yourself. If you go with your partner, try not to discuss stories that pertain to your work environment.
5. Snacking is not healthy
Snacks may keep your mind awake and give you extra energy. In addition, snacking habits also make you feel full until you can reduce your portion of lunch or dinner. But consuming 1 bag of potato chips as a snack is certainly more bad than healthy. The solution, you can try eating cut fruit, nuts, snack bar granola, or a little dark chocolate as your snack.
6. Don't eat lunch
Not eating lunch is a bad habit that should not be allowed. Don't let your work interfere with your eating schedule. Not only does it make you powerless, skipping lunch also decreases your concentration and thinking abilities. In addition, a hungry stomach will also make you eat more than you should at dinner.
7. Eat at your work desk
Eating on time and eating healthy snacks is a good thing. However, that does not mean you are advised to eat at the work desk. Lunch is an opportunity for your mind to rest. Try to care for your body, by not eating lunch while working. In addition, eating at the work desk is also not healthy because crumbs from food can be a good habitat for germs to grow.
8. Don't drink enough
Um water should be a habit for you. Not only to keep your body and mind fresh, water also helps suppress appetite so you can control your appetite. You can store a bottle of water at your desk and make a target for the amount of water you have to drink every day.
9. Long working hours
You may often feel there is not enough time in one day to complete your work. However, a healthy and balanced work life is what is needed to keep you energized and productive. Try to limit your working hours, and set limits between working hours and rest hours. Do not accept work calls outside working hours, and make your time outside work hours as pleasant as possible so you can rest your mind.
