Why do we eat lunch at our work desks? Why do we take our laptops to the table?
While I wish I had the answer, I donโt. I also canโt deny that I do this myself. More often than not, I find myself eating breakfast with my laptop already on. I know it canโt be good; yet, I still do it.
I also know Iโm not the only one. Eating while we work, even during our lunch breaks, is quite a common thing. So much I believe, that sometimes itโs what others expect; itโs become the norm. However, for various health reasons (physical, mental, and emotional) this is a habit that we should strive to put a stop to.
From increased exposure to germs, to indigestion, to stress, and lack of productivity, the reasons why we should all leave our desks and the office to eat lunch abound. Among the many benefits of taking a proper lunch break, youโll find that ย you will eat more consciously, youโll feel more energized, youโll be more productive once you get back, and you can take advantage of the break to network or get to know your coworkers.
