Eliminate food that makes you feel uncomfortable:

This covers the entire gamut of advice regarding eating healthy at work. No matter how strong the attraction towards unhealthy junk food in the office canteen or friendly neighbourhood fast-food café, you do realize that certain foods just make you feel sick.

Fried, cheesy, greasy, fattening, salty, sugar-heavy food and drink; these are all foods that leave you bloated, gassy, stuffed and plain unhappy. This could also include lunch debacles like yogurt that warms up and continues to ferment, eventually making you feel bloated when you eat it. It could also include home-cooked food that’s not conducive to packing and storing, like ghee-heavy dal or cereal-loaded tiffins. Identify these foods and arrive at your work comfort foods through the process of elimination.


  • Avoid stiffness from hours of sitting – get stretching:
  • Avoid dehydration that causes unreasonable hunger pangs – get drinking:
  • Sit straight – adjust your chair, desk, computer screen and keyboard:
