It should follow healthy food guidelines, and it also must be tasty so that you don’t have a temptation to eat a hamburger or drink soda afterwards.

Don’t use elevators – use stairs, don’t write to your colleague in a chat – go in person to ask a question.

When you eat by yourself, you tend to eat fast and not chew the food properly. So don’t disregard the opportunity to eat with a colleague. First of all, it will let you get to know your office mates better and maybe even connect better. Secondly, you will have to eat slower because you will be talking. As a result you will chew your food better and your body will consume more nutrients that are important for proper functioning./filters:quality(70)/content/pc/mq/wufp5y6f596bb93d3a49b323884317_600x750.jpg)
When working, its common to eat whatever is at hand, so people eat lots of sandwiches, candy bars, bread, fast-cooking noodles, and other not really healthy food choices. Don’t fall into that trap. Try to keep your meals packed with healthy protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats to create properly balanced meals. In case you have no idea how to do so, find a nutritionist or personal trainer to discuss your options.
