When waking up, office workers sometimes feel tired when thinking about the prospect of sitting at a desk all day. But if you apply a few “tricks” below, you will work more effectively and comfortably.
When waking up:
When you get out of bed, you should do some stretching. Stretching loosens up your muscles and promotes blood circulation. A good position is to get on your hands and knees on the floor, then hold your back in an arch for about 10 seconds. Then slowly release your muscles. Repeat this several times.
When in the office:
The most important thing that you often don't pay attention to is your sitting or walking posture. Poor posture can lead to back pain and fatigue. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
– When sitting or standing, use your abdominal muscles to keep your stomach and back straight. Relax your shoulders.
– If you are sitting at a computer, your eyes should be level with the middle of the screen. If not, adjust the height of your chair.
– Women should not wear shoes that are too high or carry handbags that are too heavy because they will affect the body's balance.
Lunch time:
Our diet affects our physical and mental well-being. Office workers should choose foods with a low Glycemic Index (GI) because foods with a high GI can cause your blood sugar to fluctuate, which can make you irritable and tired.
Foods office workers should eat:
– Vegetables, fruits and grains.
– When you are in a bad mood, use some chili pepper. This spice has stimulant properties that can cheer you up.
– If you want to reduce stress, eat foods containing Calcium and Magnesium such as sunflower seeds, kelp, beans and broccoli.
– If you are always tired, you need to supplement Vitamin B1. Some recommended foods are fried pork liver, garlic soaked in vinegar or fried onions.
In the afternoon:
Afternoon is when most office workers feel sleepy. Some people like to take a nap at their desk, but you can also do some hand exercises to wake up your body: Bend your fingers and rub the knuckles of your left hand with your right hand. After 10 minutes, switch hands. This exercise will increase blood circulation and make you feel refreshed.
