The American lifestyle is hectic, on-the-go, and completely packed with obligations and responsibilities. Modern mothers bounce from full-time jobs to picking up the kids and chauffeuring them around town. The children need to be at soccer practices and Boy Scout meetings and choir rehearsals. Fathers endure an ever-expanding workweek to pay rent or mortgage and keep food on the table, but still attend little league baseball games and band concerts. For single parents, all the parenting roles are handed to just one adult. We work seemingly around the clock, so exactly how is one supposed to maintain a healthy lifestyle?

Well, when life is moving at the speed of light like that, it’s time to think outside the box. If you are at work from eight in the morning until five at night, you have opportunities to help maintain or improve your health, but you need to take some simple steps.

A Full Night’s Sleep

The first step for becoming a healthy employee actually starts at home, but is completely priceless with regard to how you feel and how you perform at work. This tip is actually rather easy, yet, with alarming frequency, it isn’t followed. To put it plain and simple, make sure you get seven to eight hours of sleep a night. Your body needs the rest, especially after the grueling schedules everyone seems to be keeping nowadays. Anything less than seven hours of sleep and there is a direct impact on how you perform at work. The human body is not designed to be a twenty-four hour dynamo, so if you don’t treat it like one, you will begin to reap immediate benefits.

Healthy snacking

Another simple step to improve your health during the workday is to engage in healthy snacking. The old adage used to be “three square meals a day,” but that is starting to fall by the wayside. Your new goal should be to have six or seven meals spread out evenly (within reason) throughout the day. Now, we aren’t talking steak-and-potatoes for all those meals. Begin your day with a healthy breakfast of your choosing and then have a ten o’clock snack. Something along the lines of cheese, yogurt, and maybe a piece of fruit would go a long way to helping. Enjoy a healthy lunch like turkey on whole wheat with mustard and a side of grape tomatoes. At three o’clock, take another snack break. Almonds and dried fruit mixed together tastes great and will give you some protein and antioxidants, too.

Drink Water Throughout the Day

In addition to snacking throughout the day, make sure you are also drinking plenty of water (not sugar-laden drinks like soda). This is such an easy tip and it will help filter toxins from your body, along with helping to make you feel full and keeping you from heading to the vending machines for a candy bar. Not many people are aware of this, but often when you feel hungry, you are actually thirsty. Staying on top of your water consumption will help prevent unhealthy snacking.

Take Advantage of Your Lunch Hour

Your non-work hours might be full with the hustle and bustle of modern day life and finding time to work out might be an issue for you. To combat this problem, though, you can opt to join a gym near your place of employment and go there on your lunch break. This assumes, of course, that you are able to leave your office and have an hour for lunch. If this does apply, you can easily catch a quick half hour workout, shower, and still have time to eat a sandwich during your break.

If the prospect of joining a gym seems rather daunting or unappealing, don’t discount the benefit of taking a walk. The aerobic benefits will be seen in only a matter of weeks and it will give you a chance to enjoy the great outdoors and stay out of the fluorescent lights for a bit. Also, you can find a partner to go walking with everyday and it will help both of you to stay accountable to each other.

Move Around During the Workday

Sitting stagnant all day long is not what the human body was intended to do. If you have a desk job, every half hour stand up and move around. You don’t have to take laps around the office and risk being labeled as compulsive or strange, but stop by someone else’s desk and strike up a little conversation. You do not have to make it a lengthy talk; just a quick “How’s it going?” is all it takes. When you get back to your desk, you will feel better having stretched out your legs and you might develop some new friendships in the process, which is also healthy.

Our world is fast-paced, but that isn’t any reason to let it hold you back from enjoying a healthy lifestyle. Simply go to bed a little earlier, eat plenty of healthy snacks and drink lots of water throughout the day, try to catch a workout or walk on your lunch break, and make sure you move around a bit during work hours. A lot of us don’t have physically-demanding jobs, but there is still plenty of opportunity to be healthy!

1. Say No To the Spread of Colds And Flus

Prevention is the best medicine for coughs, colds, flus, and any other disease for that matter. Follow these simple steps to increase your chances of staying germ free. Washing your hands is said to be the easiest and most effective way to stop the spread of germs. If no sink is available, rub your hands together very hard for one minute.

Don’t use your hands to cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Use a tissue and throw it away immediately. Avoid touching your face. The eyes, nose and mouth are where cold and flu viruses enter the body.

Eating fruits and dark red, green and yellow vegetables increases the vitamins in your body which help you build a healthy immune system. This helps fight off viruses and infections. A cup of yogurt a day is also beneficial. It can reduce your susceptibility to colds by 25%.

Take 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily…yes, you read that correctly. I personally take 100,000 IU of Vitamin D3 per day. Vitamin D helps the body develop anti-microbial peptides which kill viruses and germs.

2. A Healthy Mouth ‘Speaks’ for a Healthy Body

Dental health is important to your overall health. Recent studies show that there may be a link between bad oral health and other problems such as heart disease and diabetes. Prevent these problems by making sure your teeth and gums are at their healthiest. Brush at least twice a day for a minimum of 30 seconds using a soft bristled toothbrush.

Make sure the brush is a size and shape that will easily allow you to reach your back teeth. Floss when you brush. When you don’t floss, you’re missing more than one third of your tooth surface. Your teeth and gums and other nutrients that come from healthy foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Practicing good oral health includes eating a well-balanced diet. Quitting smoking isn’t just good for your lungs, it is good for your mouth too. Tobacco use is a major cause of gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss, and oral cancer.

3. Fiber Wants to be Your Helpful Friend

There are two types of fiber. Soluble is found in peas, beans, oats, barley and some fruits and vegetables. The other type, insoluble, is found in whole grains and many vegetables. Soluble fiber offers important benefits to diabetics. It can help control blood sure levels as well as lower cholesterol. Insoluble fiber helps prevent diverticulosis and hemorrhoids, which are two intestinal disorders.

Some doctors believe that, over the years, a fiber rich diet can help prevent certain types of cancer. Eating 20 to 35 g of fiber a day is ideal to get the maximum health benefits. One slice of high-fiber wheat bread contains about 3 g of fiber. Check food labels to see exactly how much fiber you’re getting. Fiber can only do so much on its own. It is most effective when combined with an active and healthy lifestyle and a diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
