Healthy lifestyle: simply important

Incorporate these simple habits into your day and your body will thank you.

20-20-20 rule

Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This relaxes the eye muscles.

Micro-breaks

Get up from your desk every hour for 2-3 minutes. Walk around, do some stretches, shake out your hands.

Exercise 3x/week

Swimming, yoga or pilates compensate for physical inactivity and strengthen your muscle core.

Ergonomics

Top of monitor at eye level, chair with lumbar support, feet flat on the floor.

Drink water

Keep a water bottle on your desk. Dehydration increases fatigue and reduces concentration.

Sleep schedule

Blue light from screens disrupts melatonin production. Don't use gadgets an hour before sleep.
