According to World Health Organization “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. For this reason, we want to give you recommendations so that you can improve your health at work.
What can be done to achieve a state of labor welfare?
Some tips to achieve a balance between physical and mental health at work are:
1. Maintain a correct posture: This will prevent back and neck pain. To do this, adjust the height of the seat and the computer screen so that your eyes are at the same level as the top of the screen.
2. Take Regular Breaks (“Break Sedentary Behavior”): helps prevent eye strain and fatigue, along with maintaining concentration. Getting up every 1 hour and taking a short walk (3-5 minutes), stretching, or doing some deep breathing exercises will increase blood circulation and energy.
3. Follow a healthy diet: a balanced diet helps maintain energy and concentration throughout the day. Avoid processed foods, high in saturated fat and added sugar, and opt for options like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and lean meats.
4. Keep hydrated: drink enough water throughout the day to prevent dehydration and fatigue. Keep a bottle of water near your workplace.
5. Take time to relax: Stress at work can be overwhelming, so it’s important that you set aside time to do activities that help you clear your head. This can include walking outside, meditating, exercising, doing yoga, or just taking a few minutes to breathe deeply.
