3 Ways To Keep Your Heart Healthy At Work

 In The Buzz
In America, heart disease is the most prevalent illness in both men and women. In fact, heart disease causes about 600,000 deaths per year. And while genetics can play a big role in the development of heart disease, people can also lower their risk of developing the condition by making changes in their routine that allow them to live a healthy lifestyle. If you’re a person who’s looking for ways to reduce your risk of heart disease, a key element to remember to include in your healthy lifestyle adjustments is your place of work.  With 40 hours (or more) of your week devoted to working, maintaining healthy goals during this part of the day can have a major impact on your cardiac health. To help you stay on track, we came up with our top three ways to lower your risk of heart disease while you’re at work. 1. Eat Your Breakfast For those who start work early, we can understand the desire to skip breakfast and sleep a bit longer before heading off to work. However, eating a heart friendly breakfast is the first thing you can do in the morning to curb your risk of heart disease. In fact, eating a good breakfast in the morning could reduce your chance of heart disease by almost 27 percent. If you experience problems getting up in the morning, we suggest going to bed a little earlier at night so you wake up in time to eat a good breakfast – and still make it to work on time. 2. Drink Lots Of Water Instead of reaching for a morning coffee or an afternoon soda, try drinking water instead. In one study mentioned in by the Jacksonville Business Journal, men who drank five or more glasses of water a day saw their risk for a fatal heart disease reduced by 54 percent. Women, on the other hand, showed a reduced risk of about 41 percent. To get closer to seeing these results for yourself, we advise drinking the recommended 64 ounces of water per day. 3. Relax On Your Break It’s certainly easy to rush through your breaks after getting caught up in your job. However, taking the time to relax on your breaks is an important tool in relieving stress – a big factor for developing heart diseases. Instead of working on the line or in the garage during your breaks, try sitting down with a book or taking a short walk outside. The small reset will do a world of good for your thoughts, your work, and your heart. If you’re aiming to improve your heart’s health, you should take steps to protect your heart at all times – not just at home. By taking steps in every aspect of your life, you can work at strengthening your heart and lowering your risk of cardiac disease so that you can do a better job at work and live your life to the fullest.  

  • “Bar-B-Que sauce is easy enough to clean up when it’s on your fingers and lips, but it’s an entirely different story when a five-gallon jug of it ruptures and flows onto a warehouse floor. SpillFix was applied to the entire disaster area – from the pallet to the cardboard, the shrink wrap and the growing puddle on the floor. In three and a half minutes, the entire mess was cleaned, and the warehouse was restored to a safe workplace again — using just one product.”
