Healthy Work-from-Home Lifestyle

While working from home is very rewarding, it can also have its challenges.

One primary challenge we find some folks to have is staying healthy while working at home.

Many work-from-home peeps do not “clock-in” for their job. The freedom is excellent, but because you have 24/7 access to the kitchen while working from home, some find it very challenging to curb food cravings.

Don’t worry you’re not alone!

We want you to know there are options to being healthy while working from home and that anyone can do it!

Getting on the right path to a healthier lifestyle is easier than you may imagine.

Here we help you find what works best for you in attaining a healthier you in the work-at-home lifestyle.

Be smart and safe. Always listen to your body. If a new exercise hurts, stop! The old saying, “no pain no gain” does NOT apply here….ever!

Our 7-Tips For A Healthy Work-from-Home Career

Get a good nights rest – Try to get at least 7 hours to recharge your batteries – well, your brain and body. ☺
Drink a minimum of 8 ounces of water first thing after you wake up – This will replenish lost fluids while sleeping. Try this: Add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to 8 ounces of warm water with honey. This zippy tea is an added health benefit used as an anti-inflammatory.
Take a shower and get dressed for the day – This will help you feel confident…you’ll smell better too 🙂
Eat a healthy breakfast – Try something such as gluten-free oatmeal with almond milk, honey, fruits, and nuts – Add a protein shake and you’ve got our go-to nutritional breakfast.
Take plenty of breaks – Use a timer or an alarm and schedule 5 or 10-minute walk breaks to get some fresh air and exercise your heart. Do this for every 2-3 hours of work.
Keep work and personal time separate – Try to give yourself at least 1 – 2 full days off. Giving yourself days off while working from home will help you keep your sanity – lol – while keeping your mind and overall well being in good spirits.
Lastly, stay clear of junk food – Be nice to your heart and body by ruling out high processed sugar snacks and replacing them with healthy snacks like nuts, seeds, and home-made fruit cups.
