You may be eating healthy, exercising regularly, hitting the gym and not smoking, but that does not necessarily mean you are having a healthy workday. In fact, 60% of employees under 35 with a normal BMI still had at least one other flagged cardiovascular-risk marker, particularly cholesterol-related measures.
A modern office worker may be having a healthy diet, doing regular exercises or hitting the gym, and not smoking, but still have an unhealthy workday. Usually, the issue is not a single unhealthy habit, but the overall combination of prolonged sitting, stress, lack of sleep and mindless routines. The WHO now recommends reducing the amount of time spent sitting and replacing it with any form of movement. Even light physical activity is healthier for the human body than prolonged sitting.
