Research has indicated that sedentary office jobs have contributed
to the dramatic rise in obesity and weight gain seen in the past 20
years. Unless your working on a construction scene, in a day care,
hospital or similar environment, you’re most likely pretty sedentary
during the day. Here are a few tips to help keep you moving and avoid
additional weight gain:
• Eat at regular intervals –
in the busy rush or emails, phone calls, projects and other tasks,
don’t forget to eat your lunch and snack throughout the day.
•
Choose your foods wisely – the vending machine may be calling your name
everyday at 3:30 but you’re not going to find the nutrients you need
there to keep you going. Try to replace this with a fruit, vegetable or
yogurt.
• Move! – Whether you want to get to work a few
minutes early to take a walk before sitting down all day, extend your
lunch hour and get to the gym or join a recreation group after work,
make sure your compensating for all of your down time and getting
active.
