With Father’s Day just a few days away, The Men’s Health Network have launched their annual ‘Men’s Health Week’ This year’s theme is “Men’s Health By Numbers” it aims to help men keep an eye on the numbers they need to know about their health – check out their website to find this list.
The campaign as a whole is an opportunity to raise awareness of these issues, how they develop and encourages men to do something about it!
With this in mind we’ve put together a list of ways you can be healthier in the office
- Walk to work
If it’s possible, why not walk to work? There are so many benefits to walking only 30-minutes a day. It increases the health of your heart, enhances muscle power and endurance, reduces excess body fat and so much more! We understand that this may not always be possible but when you can, try walking! - Have a meeting on the move
This is ties in with our first tip on walking, you don’t have to only walk 30 minutes a day why not get those steps whilst you’re in a meeting. Do you have a phone call meeting? Why not do it on the move. (However, we do advise that you go somewhere quiet!!) - Stretch at the desk
Did you know that stretching can reduce workplace stress? Frequent stretching keeps your muscles and tissues working just as they should! This can help improve your brain functions throughout the day, leaving you less tired, stressed and keeping you working hard! If you want some help with your posture check out some of the physio businesses based here a Bucks Biz - Trapezius Physiotherapy Clinic & PC Physiotherapy. - Say no to Sugary snacks
This may be difficult for our sweet-toothed guys out there. Though sweets may seem like a quick fix to those rumbles, they don’t do anything for you in the long-run. They are digested quickly, leaving you on a rollercoaster of sugar highs and lows. Instead, bring in some healthier snacks in from home or better-yet, the healthy left–overs from dinner the night before. - Drink water
Drinking water will help you fight off those sugary cravings and leave you feeling hydrated. If you’d like some extra flavour try putting in some fruits – you’ll be getting extra nutrients too!
It isn’t always easy keeping healthy however, it’s important that you do. We hope that this has inspired you to be a little healthier in your offices!
