Tips to Keep Your Body Fit.
Most hard working, goal-driven, adult Americans are stressed out! Yep – and it usually has something to do with work or school and the pressures associated with it. So, here are some tips to help you stay fit and healthy while away from home. After all, if you work so hard that you lose your health, what’s the point?
Take Breaks
Every hour, if possible, get up and walk around. Grab a glass of water or a quick, healthy snack. While you’re up, apply a cool towel to your face, go outside and breathe in some fresh air, stretch and laugh. It will get your blood flowing again and clear your mind. When you return to your desk you’ll be ready to get back to business!

Correct Posture
There’s nothing like getting up from your chair after a long day and finding that your knee is locked into place, you have an aching back and your left hand is asleep. Sit straight, put your feet flat on the floor, keep your head and neck in alignment – follow the rules of correct posture and your day will end on a much happier note.

Leave Your Work at Work
When you head home at night, try to switch gears. Begin thinking about what you’ll do at home, and what’s for dinner, stop thinking about tomorrow and all of it’s associated responsibilities – it will be here soon enough! You need a break, you’re a hard worker, and you deserve some time to wind down and get back in touch with yourself and your home life.

Eat Balanced and Healthy Meals and Snacks
If you treat your body well it will return the favor for years to come. All of us want to be healthy, but in today’s day and age it takes some work. So, focus on eating between five and thirteen fruits and vegetables a day. Use fresh fruit and raw veggies as snacks. Take along a plastic baggie of dried fruits and nuts for that afternoon fix. Make sure to eat breakfast – it will start your day off on the right foot and eat a light but nutritious lunch so as to ward off those 3 pm “crashes”.

Hydrate
You’ve heard it before, there’s nothing better for quenching a thirst than a tall, cold glass of water. Water makes up a large portion of the human body. It makes sense then that we need to replenish the water we use while breathing, eating, perspiring, thinking and in general – living! Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily.

Get a Good Night’s Sleep
The human body needs time to recuperate from the daily stress we place on it. It does so at night, while we’re sleeping. Our organs are replenished with nutrients, our blood is cleansed and our minds are relaxed. Most adults need around eight hours of sleep, so book it into your schedule, just like you would an hour at the gym or an important meeting with a client. Don’t let anything get in the way of taking care of your own health!

Maintaining a Healthy Weight
Let’s face it — metabolism slows with age, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still look great and maintain a healthy weight over the long haul. If the pounds have crept on over the years you can make a plan now to get back to a weight you feel good about.
Meeting your weight loss goal will require deliberate, sustained changes in your diet and activity level. If you want to lose weight and maintain the weight loss, you will need to take in fewer, and burn more calories. On average, you will gain one pound for each 3,500 calories you ingest.
Experts recommend the following three strategies for maintaining a healthy weight – food diaries, goal setting and exercise planning.
Food diary
Using a food diary is as simple as keeping a record of everything you put in your mouth. When you are really in touch with your eating pattern it becomes more clear where changes need to be made. Food diaries improve your chances of success by eliminating mindless eating.
