Most of our waking hours are spent in the workplace. So what we do during those hours can have a profound impact on our overall health. A positive wellness culture during the workday can contribute to better health – physical, mental, and emotional well-being for you and your co-workers. Healthy people are more productive, more constructive and require fewer sick days and health associated costs. Both employers and employees can promote a healthier work environment.

Try considering these five helpful tips to stay healthy at work.

1. Hydrate

There is a great chance that you don’t drink enough water just because you don’t drink enough fluids daily or since you substitute water with carbonated drinks and other sugary drinks.

According to Jacqueline Twillie, the author of Navigating the Career Jungle that drinking plenty of water is the secret weapon to help avoid putting on calories through the day.

She also said that the extra trips you take going to the restroom from drinking a lot of water helps you by taking mini breaks from your work, recharging you and making you productive at work.
