Work can get in the way of a lot of things, most importantly our health. Millions upon millions of people suffer from work-related stress every year while sitting at desks overs little exercise and can pose health risks of its own. But there are ways to get healthier in all that stress and the key is your lunch break.
It can be tough to find the time to think about getting active or healthy. There are kids to run to school in the morning, mouths to feed in the evening after all. But what about that hour you get smack, bang in the middle of the day?
The lunch break is a great time to work out or consider doing something healthy. Not only is it good for your health, it’ll benefit your afternoon of work too. Here are a few ways you can make your lunch breaks that little bit healthier.
