Exercise a bit in the Office

I see a lot of people especially those in office tend to put on weight easily because they sit too long in their seats during office hours and they seldom move around except when its necessary which is seldom. Therefore its of utmost importance that we should take short breaks during office hours like after few hours, we should just go to the pantry or toilet and do some breathing exercise which will make us fresher and more alert. We could walk up some flight of stairs instead of taking lifts or escalators. We can do on the spot running too when we are out of the office.

Also I feel that we should not sit immediately after our lunch but do some walking, which I think going out for lunch, helps a lot. Having Lunch in the office does not really help as you would be sitting all the time during lunch and especially after lunch. Always try not to overeat during our meals, keep it at three quarters full in our stomach.

Try to park your car few blocks away from the office and walk to your office.

Park your car a few blocks away from your office.

How Huge a Role Does Culture Play in Diet?

We've all seen the stats about how the U.S. has a higher percentage of obese people (more than 30% of adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) than countries like Japan, France, and Italy. Breaking it down even further, the Trust for America's Health released a new report on obesity in America, and the South remains the fattest part of the country. (Mississippi has the highest obesity rate, followed by Alabama, where some of Health's offices are located.)
Traditional Southern fare includes fried foods (like fried green tomatoes, fish, and chicken), banana pudding, and sweet tea. In some families, there is also a culture that encourages overeating: For example, the idea that a man is more manly if he eats plenty-or that you're not "healthy" if you don't clean your plate. These eating habits may be the culprits behind expanding waistlines.But that's not the whole picture, as Time magazine acknowledged in its article, "Why Are Southerners So Fat?"

Sabotaging Your Diet? 

Most People Eat From Fast Food Restaurants

Not every meal in the South comes from a deep fryer. In fact, for many Southerners, gardening and canning have always put veggies and fruit on the table, and new Southern cooking gives a bigger role to beautiful, fresh produce. Poverty plays a role in the South's obesity picture, as does a lack of public transportation and city planning that makes it inconvenient or difficult to walk or cycle around town. The abundance of fast-food restaurants and frequency with which Americans eat out means meals in big portions and big calorie counts. A recent study showed that a greater number of fast-food restaurants and convenience stores in your neighborhood may sabotage your diet.

Pick Traditional Food Culture 

Eat More Like The French

Since our food culture isn't proving to be healthy, perhaps we should imitate other cultures' habits. One of food writer Michael Pollan's mantras is to "Eat more like the French" or simply pick a traditional food culture as your guideline.
