How-to ensure long-term wellness in young office goer
Being a young office-goer is a tough call. Right from managing work in office, he/she has to manage home and social groups too. In the rush of things, what the young office-goer often forgets is caring about one’s own health and wellness. Take care now, before it is too late.
Fifteen simple things that an office-goer can do to ensure long-term health and wellness.
- Be physically active (walk, run, jog, swim, stair-climb, gym – anything for 30 minutes daily)
- Eat well (healthy food in excess is like junk and junk food eaten rarely is not really junk)
- Stop smoking (even a cigarette pack has a warning)
- Take alcohol in moderation (in excess it is definitely a poison to your mind and liver)
- Have sunshine for about 15 minutes daily (Vitamin D deficiency in office-goers is now rampant)
- Floss your teeth at least once daily (bad dental hygiene may lead to heart attacks)
- Sleep well (to recover from the bashings of life)
- Manage Stress, Rage & Anxiety (to keep your sanity)
- Be kind to your colleagues (empathize)
- Have friends (be social; after all human beings are social animals)
- Do medical checks once in a year or two (prevention is better, cheaper and easier than cure)
- Do not drink and drive (think about self, your family and others)
- Work safely (learn correct ways of working, be it with a computer or a machine in a workshop)
- Enjoy your work; however mundane (you are paid for it and it is good for your health to work, and enjoy)
- Be happy (actually this should be on the top of the list)
