Health Tips for Remote Workers

Science-backed strategies for desk-bound professionals

🪑 Combat Prolonged Sitting

  • • Stand up every 30 minutes (set a timer)
  • • Consider a standing desk or desk converter
  • • Take walking meetings when possible
  • • Do calf raises while on calls
  • • Stretch hip flexors 3x daily (they shorten from sitting)

👁️ Eye Health (20-20-20 Rule)

  • • Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds
  • • Use blue light filtering (glasses or software)
  • • Blink consciously - we blink 60% less when staring at screens
  • • Keep screen at arm's length, slightly below eye level
  • • Use proper lighting - avoid glare on screen

😴 Sleep Optimization

  • • Aim for 7-8 hours (crucial for weight loss!)
  • • Keep consistent sleep/wake times (even weekends)
  • • No screens 1 hour before bed
  • • Keep bedroom cool (18-20°C / 65-68°F)
  • • No caffeine after 2 PM
  • • Finish eating 2-3 hours before sleep

🧠 Stress Management

  • • Chronic stress = high cortisol = belly fat storage
  • • Practice deep breathing when stressed
  • • Take real breaks (not scrolling social media)
  • • Set clear work boundaries (no email after 6 PM)
  • • Connect with people - isolation increases stress

🖥️ Ergonomic Desk Setup

  • • Monitor at eye level (use books/stand if needed)
  • • Feet flat on floor or footrest
  • • Elbows at 90° angle when typing
  • • Support your lower back
  • • Keep frequently used items within arm's reach

Increase NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis)

  • • Pace while on phone calls
  • • Use bathroom on different floor
  • • Do housework during breaks
  • • Park farther, take stairs
  • • Fidget! Tapping, stretching all adds up
  • • Goal: 8,000-10,000 steps daily

🍽️ Mindful Eating for Remote Workers

  • • NEVER eat at your desk while working
  • • Take a proper lunch break (minimum 30 min)
  • • Prepare meals in advance (meal prep Sunday)
  • • Keep healthy snacks visible, hide junk
  • • Don't keep snacks at your desk
  • • Stay hydrated - thirst often mimics hunger
