Drink enough water – This equates to around 9-13 cups (depending on gender and other factors), plus more
depending on activity levels. Overall,
just make sure to trust your thirst. It’s
there for a reason. Plus, since more
water = more trips to the bathroom, use that time to work on the next tip below…

Take the stairs – The odds are that you’re pretty sedentary for most of your workday. Counteract this by doing things like taking
the stairs, parking far away from your door, walking around on your lunch
breaks, taking phone calls while standing/walking, etc. Every little bit of movement contributes to
our general health, and can even help with weight loss! Look into a concept called NEAT (non-exercise
activity thermogenesis) to see how even small energy expenditures add up.

Maintain good posture – We know sitting for long periods of time is bad for you. However, sitting for at least some
long periods of time is downright inevitable in today’s workplace. Making sure you’re sitting correctly when
you have to do so can make a big difference to how you feel day to day. Check out this article for an in-depth guide to posture at work.

Limit Caffeine – When work gets boring and you need a break or a boost, it’s easy to see
the endless supply of caffeine available at most offices as a blessing. However, caffeine can interrupt your sleep and
increase your stress hormones, neither of which you need more of! Instead, try drinking cold water to give
yourself a boost, and limit your caffeine to 1-2 cups a day.

Take frequent short breaks – Taking short quick breaks from work will keep you
more productive in the long run and is a great way to accomplish all the other
tips! On your 10-15 minute breaks, take
a quick walk around the building, drink some water to stay hydrated, or even
practice a few minutes of mindfulness.
