Pause a moment to stretch. If you can, take brief walks for five minutes each hour. Incorporating movement and exercise into your day has so many benefits, including boosting your energy, making you feel happier and healthier, and reducing your risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Research shows that short exercises throughout the day can help your performance and efficiency at work.

Look away for about 20 seconds every 20 minutes to give your eyes a much-needed break. Staring at a screen for too long can harm your health. Make sure your screen is an arm’s length away. Blue light glasses have gained popularity because they may help reduce eye strain. To prevent your eyes from drying, don’t forget to blink or use artificial tears drops.

Keep your neck from bending to one side for too long and change positions frequently. Poor posture can strain the muscles of your jaw, neck, shoulders and lower back. Bending forward for too long also upsets the balance of your head on your neck. This can give you headaches and neck pain, and change how your teeth come together when you bite. Maintaining good posture can help to prevent added strain on your mouth and body.

Step away from your desk during lunch and other breaks. Taking time to enjoy your break will help you relax and reenergize. Reducing stress can help avoid problems such as nail biting, teeth grinding, canker sores and gum disease. By giving yourself this pause, you’ll feel better prepared to tackle the rest of your day.

Too much coffee can stain your teeth, cause headaches and anxiety, and make you feel jittery. Caffeine can contribute to dry mouth, and teeth grinding and clenching. Adding too much sugar to your coffee can lead to tooth decay.

Keep healthy foods on hand, including fruits and veggies, nuts such as almonds, lean meats, whole grains and cheese. Fueling your body with nutritious foods helps you stay energized at work, boosts your brain power and keeps your oral and overall health in check. Alternatively, foods high in sugar or fat can make you feel sluggish and drained.

Sip on water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help increase your energy levels, boost your mood and improve your memory and performance. Water keeps your mouth clean and helps prevent dry mouth, so it’s good for your smile, too.

Tidy up daily and reduce clutter. This can help lower stress and allow you to get a fresh start the next day. Use a disinfectant at least once a week to wipe down your desk, keyboard and phone, which can harbor germs that can potentially make you sick.

Take time each day to relax, which can do wonders for your oral and overall health. As part of your self-care routine, don’t forget to brush your teeth twice and floss once each day.
