1) Eat
breakfast. Breakfast improves concentration and fuels your brain and body
for the tasking day .If you deprive your body
of breakfast you may find yourself tired, dizzy and irritable .It may take you
longer to carry out tasks and your sweet cravings increase.
2)Maintain correct
posture. Have your feet
flat on the floor. Have your hips slightly higher than your knees. Sit as far
back in the chair as possible. Keep your elbows close to your body and your
shoulders relaxed down. The top line of your computer monitor should be at eye
level so you are looking slightly down at your screen,keep your wrists in line
with your forearm.
3) Take
your breaks. Breaks = peace of mind. And peace of mind =
energy and focus. Energy and focus =productivity. When you sit in the same
position for a long time ,your blood flow
to an active muscle is impaired, the oxygen
supply is diminished, which over time can impair muscle function.
4) Your lunch –Your lunch should contain both Protein and Carbohydrate like a traditional
thali.Half the plate should be covered with vegetables (bhaji + sald), quarter
plate should be protein (pulses or non veg ),quarter plate with starch (rice or
rotis) and a dairy product completes a meal.
5) Eat
lunch away from your desk. When you eat your lunch while responding to your emails,
you may
as well be eating your emails.
While eating, it is best to focus on eating. In the end, you will better digest
your food. You will also
remember eating your meal and will feel more satisfied from it.
6) Don’t
heat your lunch in a plastic container in the microwave. The plastics
will get into your food and
increase your risk of
developing cancer. If you really need to heat your food,
ask your company to buy a
hotplate.
7)Cut your caffeine intake: Avoid
having more than 2 cups of coffee /tea per
day. Excess causes a rise in blood
pressure , heart ,causes insomnia, leads to miscarriage,cancer,Alzheimer’s
disease.
8) Exercise.Walk when you talk,climb stairs, do some stretching
.
9) Drink
green tea.It lowers cholesterol,increases
metabolism,reduces B.P.,delays Alzheimer’s disease,relaxes mind ,has anti
bacterial properties.
10) Snack it
up. Stack up your office drawer with
snacks like roasted chana,nuts,khakhra,fruits,soya nuts ,Marie biscuits.It will
energize you. When you’re energy is sustained, you’ll be able to focus and be
more
productive.
