Staying Healthy at Work

With the cold / flu season upon us, it is increasingly important to maintain your health and keep those nasty germs away.   In order to help you and your co-workers healthy during this time of year we’ve collected several easy tips for the office.

• WASH YOUR HANDS

• Stay hydrated

• Limit junk food, skip the chips and cake and have an apple instead

• Get ample amounts of sunlight or fake sunlight via a full spectrum lamp

• Clean your desk/ area regularly with disinfecting wipes

• LAUGH

• Don’t stare at your screen too long – take a break every 15- 20 minutes

• Use an air purifier

• Keep hands away from face

• Be tidy

• STAY HOME WHEN NECESSARY AND DO NOT COME TO WORK IF YOU’RE SICK

• Maintain good posture

• Get a good night’s sleep

• Don’t skip breakfast

• Take a lap around the office

• Take a break every day

• DON’T STRESS ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS (stress lowers your immune system)

• Don’t forget to eat your vegetables

• Use a moisturizing hand sanitizer

• Be careful at the break room fridge, germs love to live on the handles
