Posted on November 25, 2008 in Health by admin

A stressful 
lifestyle increases the fat in your body. Iirrespective of how busy you
are, make it a point to take some time out for yourself.

A sedentary lifestyle in the
office can add unwanted pounds to your body. Here are a few simple steps that
can help you to lose weight without having to give up your job:

  • Instead of emailing to your colleagues, it would
    be more beneficial if you walked those extra steps to his cubicle. Though
    the steps will be few but eventually they will definitely make a big
    difference. Moreover, a face-to-face rendezvous always helps to build a
    better rapport. 
  • Avoid high calorie snacks and tea or coffee from
    the office vending machine. Instead stack your drawer with healthy and
    nutritious snacks like nuts, seeds, raisins and other dry fruits. Other
    choices include fresh fruits, raw veggies, sachets of herbal teas and
    ordinary coffee. Drinking strong coffee also helps, since caffeine
    increases your metabolism. However, it should be black coffee, minus the
    cream and sugar.
  • Use a wireless headset to receive phone calls.
    This way you can also take a walk around the office premises at the same
    time. Make it a point to take a 5 minute brisk walk at regular intervals
    of 2 hours. By the end of the day, this will eventually add up to a 20 minute
    walk, which can make a big difference. 
  • One of the simplest ways to shed extra pounds
    while working in the office is to drink ice cold water. This will boost
    the metabolism rate of your body, consequently helping you to burn
    additional 100 calories while you are just sitting in your office chair. You
    can add a zest of lemon or crushed strawberry for flavor. A few raspberries
    or even a slice of peach will make a refreshing drink.

    •              Instead of
    gulping down soda, fruit juices, iced teas, drink ample of water.  Cutting     down     on aerated beverages can
    make a significant difference to your daily calorie count. 

  • Yet another way to burn calories is to simply
    twirl a few times in your swivel chair. For every 60 rotations, you will
    burn about 50 calories. Merely standing can also help to burn calories.
    Always keep moving even when you are working at your desk. Doing squats
    and lunges for even a few minutes every five hours is enough to do the
    trick. 
  • Instead of waiting for the elevator, use the
    stairs. Try to take double steps as this will force your muscles to work
    harder. You can also work your calf muscles by tip toeing around the
    office or even while standing at our desk. Merely spending as much as 10
    minutes, walking up and down the stairs on a daily basis will help you to lose
    approximately 10 pounds a year.
  • Instead of having a high fat and rich carb lunch
    at your nearest fast food joint, it would be advisable if you packed your
    lunch at home. This way, not only will you be eating a healthy and
    well-balanced diet but also save considerable amount of time and money. 

    • A stressful and deskbound
    lifestyle increases the fat in your body. Thus, irrespective of how busy you
    are , make it a point to take some time out for yourself.
