December 8, 2017

Working hard doesn’t always mean that you need to suffer the brunt of it all. While you might not believe it, working extremely hard and sitting around all day could actually make you really sick if you’re not careful. 

Here are some of the says your office job could actually be making you sick.

These 5 Things You Do At Work Are Making You Sick
You're Desk Bound All Day

There’s actually a reason why early in 2016, people were embracing the whole stand up desk idea. 

Sitting for long hours a day can easily encourage a sedentary lifestyle and it doesn’t help improve blood circulation in the body at all. 

 

You Eat At Your Desk

There’s a lot of reasons why people say eating at your desk is unhygienic. Unlike the toilet, we’re less likely to clean our desk because we somehow always think it’s clean. However, given how much we put on our desk and how much dust falls on it daily, eating at your desk should never be encouraged. 

You Check Your Emails Before Going To Bed

First of all, you really shouldn’t be thinking about work after you’ve left the office. However, given that we’re all strapped to our phone,it’s difficult to say no to it. 

Checking and replying to your emails usually means that you’re not able to disengage from work. 

You Check Your Emails The Moment You Wake Up

Once again, checking your emails the moment you wake up is the sign that you’re not disengaging from work. 

You Don't Sit Up Straight

Thanks to the fact that most office chairs aren’t ergonomic, chances are, you’ll spend most of your eight hours slouched in front of your desk. 

This is especially scary because you could end up having back problems and suffer from general discomfort.
