Eat healthy snacks: Snacking should be a positive addition to your daily diet, but make sure to opt for healthy snacks. Look for snacks that are around 150 to 200 calories, low in fat or fat free, and that give important nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, calcium and protein.

Plan ahead: When you step out for weekly shopping, think about portable and healthy items that you can take with you to the office. This way you are more likely to avoid tempting cookies and cake.

Portion control: Individually portioned items are good for the workplace. If you open up a pack of biscuits or bag of crisps, you’re going to eat more than you planned to. But, with a single yoghurt, banana or nuts, you don’t have that worry.

Indulge in protein: Some studies have shown that protein is a good way to keep hunger at bay. So, think about snacks such as a yoghurt, around 30 gram of almonds to get you through until your next meal time. Read more about foods that’ll help you stay alert in office.

Specifically, you can enjoy these snacks at office. These snacks aren’t just healthy, but they’ll also help beat the sleepiness that you feel after having lunch.

Sprouts: Sprouts are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, proteins, amino acids and minerals that make it a healthy option while at work. You can even make them tasty by boiling them and adding some finely chopped onions and tomatoes, along with a dash of lime and chat masala.

Fruits: You can easily store fruits like oranges, apples and strawberry at your office for a few days. These fruits are rich in nutrients that’ll boost your immunity, keep your digestive system in mint condition and even reduce your chances of having cancer.

Oatmeal: Oats are extremely healthy especially because they are high in fibre. Fibre helps your digestive system absorb all the other nutrients and is great for weight loss too as they keep you feeling full for longer. You can have a small bowl of oats with milk and add some fruit toppings to it. Here are some more healthy snacks that you can eat in the office.

Besides these, you should also do some light exercise while at office. Taking deep breaths at regular intervals, covering your eyes with your palms for at least a minute and continously blinking are just some of the simple things you should do to keep yourself stress-free. Here are some more exercises you can do to improve your posture.

Upper back stretch: This exercise is extremely simple to execute. You should begin by clasping your arms in front of you so that you feel a stretch in your upper back. You should also lower your head while doing it, bringing your chin close to your chest.

Arms stretch: Another simple exercise, you just have to straighten your back and extend both your arms above your head. Both your palm should touch each other like it does when you do a namaste. Besides these two, here are some more exercises you can do in your office. Alternatively, you can also try these yoga poses that help burn fat.
