How Not to Get Sick at Work
March 4, 2010 | In: Health
What’s not good about working in a closed environment is that it’s quiet easy to get sick when somebody else gets ill. Here are some tips on how to ward off illness at work.
Always wash your hands well, especially after you use the toilet, and before eating. About 50 seconds of washing time should do it to make sure that most of the germs have come off. Use a hand sanitizer afterwards for added protection.
Take multi-vitamins and eat healthily. Our bodies need vitamins and minerals to keep our immune system strong which will give your body a better chance to fight off nasty viruses and bacteria.
In addition to the above, always try to get enough rest. It also boosts your immune system and it also allows your body to replenish energy stores.
Clean your desk. Bring disinfectant wipes which you can use on the surface of your desk, your keyboard, your mouse, and your phone.
Have a small potted plant on your desk to help in circulating air in your immediate vicinity.
