Healthy eating and exercise in the office - how to stay fit at your desk
Stress, tight deadlines and hours of sitting: Everyday office life can quickly become a strain on body and mind. But if you consciously pay attention to your diet and exercise, you can do a lot for your well-being even in the office - and increase your own performance at the same time.
1. Why nutrition in the office matters more than you think
The classic lunch break with a heavy meal, followed by a lull in concentration - many people are familiar with this. Yet it is crucial to provide the body with the right nutrients, especially during the working day:
- Complex carbohydrates instead of sugar: keep blood sugar levels stable and provide sustained energy.
- Healthy fats such as nuts, avocado or linseed oil support brain function.
- Drink plenty of water: 1.5 to 2 litres a day is essential to stay focused and alert.
- Light, protein-rich snacks: e.g. cottage cheese, boiled eggs or natural yoghurt - ideal to combat the afternoon slump.
Pro tip: Take a meal prep with you - this way you can keep control of your diet and save time.

2. Exercise as a booster for concentration & health
The human body is not made for long periods of sitting. Anyone who spends 6-9 hours a day sitting motionless at a desk risks tension, back pain and a deterioration in metabolism.
Even small changes make a difference:
- Short stretching exercises every 60 minutes
- Walking during phone calls
- Instead of e-mail: Address colleagues directly and move around
