Promote active “travel” to the conference → Start the day feeling energised with
a 15-minute brisk walk round the garden/street/stairs.
|
|
Use reminders about keeping hydrated → Have a large glass of water at hand,
as the conference kicks off. Why not add some slices of lemon, ice or peppermint leaves
for extra refreshment?
|
|
Suggest opting for different (sugar free) drinks → Try a new type of hot drink
(a new coffee blend, fruit or herbal teas, green tea) to mark this conference day from
usual home working.
|
|
Promote ways to reduce sedentary time → Avoid sitting all day and build in some
standing time during presentations. Try elevating your laptop – even the ironing board
can be useful!
|
|
Promote ways to increase activity → Turn off your video, mute your audio and
‘Dance like nobody’s watching!’, or partake in some #kettlecises or stretches for 5
whole minutes. https://www.cancerpreventionscotland.org.uk/resources/kettlecise/
|
|
Suggest fruit-based snack → A fruit bowl goes a long way to stave off hunger, try
opting for seasonal fruit
|
|
Make time for a healthy lunch → Enjoy lunch away from your desk (don’t be tempted
by the emails!)
|
|
Provide reminders to eat vegetables at lunch → any way and any form but make
it a good size portion!
|
|
Suggest keeping an eye on high calorie desserts or snacks → keep the
portions wee!
|
|
Promote ”active travel” at the end of the day back → a 15 minute power walk to
help unwind before starting your evening leisure time.
|
|
And…... Don’t forget to open a window (even just a little bit) to make sure you have some fresh air circulating
in your working space
