Sitting at a desk all day is not healthy, but something that’s a reality for most of us. We’ve compiled a few tips to help keep your body happy.

Every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet (six metres) away for 20 seconds. By refocusing your eyes, you’ll prevent eyestrain.

Stretching is a great way to clear your head and reset your brain. Try to stand up as often as you can and find tasks that you can do while standing. Going for a little walk around the office, office building or the street outside is a great way to give your eyes, body and brain a break from your desk.

Clean your desk and electronics

Keep the contents of your desk relevant. If you don’t need it, get rid of it. Seriously – just throw it away!

Lunch

Do not eat lunch at your desk. Stand up, move around and find a lunch spot elsewhere that works for you. Eating lunch away from your desk may lead to increased interaction with your co-workers and potentially even friends!
