With the World Health Organization (WHO) recommending adults participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise every week, this could be impossible (well not really) for some of us. But the good news is that this can be broken down into sessions: for example, 30 minutes a day for five days a week. Ok, but where and when is the 30 minutes coming from?
With work accounting for a large part portion of our time during the day, and home and family commitments taking up much of what is left, it’s easy to see why many of us are failing in this department. One solution is for workplaces to make physical activity a priority. They could have it where everyone has the opportunity to achieve, at least, 30 minutes of exercise each day throughout the working week.

Healthy Eating Habits for Shift Workers
Ensure most of your meals contain a few carbs (very few) and a lot of protein. Shoot for some vegetables and a little bit of fruit as well to help with variety and taste. You might even be able to have the fruit with yogurt as a snack while working, if you are able to. One word of caution with meals while doing shift work is avoiding very heavy meals. Don’t consume large meals and then try to go back to work.
