need to break the habit. Schedule an alarm for every 30 minutes to get up and take
a lap around your office. Manage your time effectively by going to pick up your
paper from the printer or grabbing a glass of water. Even better? Visit a co-worker
to talk about a project instead of sending an email.
• Establish proper sitting habits. Keep your back straight, feet at 90 degrees, and
eyes level with the top of your computer screen. Make sure your shoulders aren’t
hunched when resting your elbows on your desk to type.
• Stretch in place. Adding stretching to your daily routine is beneficial for anyone.
Stand up and do a few stretches at your desk to get your muscles loosened up
and moving. Feeling spunky? Add a few jumping jacks in to get your heart rate
pumping for some extra energy.
• Realize how much sitting you do. Sitting for eight hours at your job has negative
effects on your body, but going home and sitting on the couch for the rest of the
night doubles those effects, increasing cause for concern. If you have a sedentary
job, make a point of taking a walk when you get home or spend some time on
your feet with your kids or at the gym. Keeping active during breaks and on the
weekends will help combat negative effects from the workweek.
HEART HEALTH—SKIP THE SUGAR!
Heart disease is the number-one killer of all Americans, but awareness of the disease
and its causes have allowed for a decrease in the number of deaths associated with it in
recent years. Eating well and exercising are obvious ways to prevent the onset of heart
disease, but a recent study by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology looks
at another culprit that has damaging effects on your heart: sugar (fructose). According
to the study, one to two servings of sugary dri nks per day raises a person’s risk of heart
disease by 35 percent. It is important to be cognizant of sugar intake, as it can often
sneak into your diet unnoticed. Men should only consume about 37.5 grams of added
sugar (think coffee drinks, sodas, yeast breads, cereals, fruit drinks) per day, while
women should stay around 25 grams. Starting out the day with a latte, frozen beverage,
or soda could add anywhere from 20 to 63 grams of sugar in just 12 ounces! Make sure
to stop and think before you consume added sugar for the sake of your heart health,
because sugar isn’t as sweet as it seems.

BEST FOOT FORWARD
After hours of physical abuse from constant pounding and tapping, your feet deserve
a break! Feet take a constant beating every day, and we often blame foot pain on a
long day on our feet or shoes with poor support. Foot pain may be caused by other
problems in your body that shouldn’t be ignored.
Keep tabs on your feet by:
• examining your feet regularly
• wearing comfortable shoes that fit properly and offer plenty of support
• keeping your toenails trimmed straight across
• allowing your feet to air out after being in shoes.
Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing:
• joint stiffness
• tingling or numbness
• swelling
• discoloration or bruising
• inability or limiting of physical tasks due to foot pain. ■
