  1. Try to get as many moments of rest as possible. Don't get stressed. Go to the corridor for a moment, even go for a 10-minute walk induring the day. Instead of eating chips from a vending machine, buy a packet of dried fruit and keep it at your desk.
  2. Try to eat rationally. Do not use vending machines, try to make a salad in the morning, put it in a box and take it to work. Try to go out for lunch - eat soup or a piece of meat with vegetables during the day. When you get home, don't make up for your "uneaten dinner" - make a salad or a light meal with oven-baked vegetables.
  3. Do some kind of physical activity regularly - go to the pool once a week, walk, climb stairs instead of using the elevator. If possible - commute to work by bike or use it on weekends.
  4. Learn to relax so that you don't have to worry about stressful work responsibilities on your days off.
