3. Get moving. You knew it was coming, and here it is – that dreaded word: exercise. I’m not saying you have to do two hours of calisthenics a day, but you do need to get up out of that chair and do something. Go for a walk, do some light housework, it doesn’t matter. Just do something besides sitting.

4. Use break-time wisely. Wait a minute – doesn’t taking a break mean eating a snack? NO! You need to fill your break time with other things that you enjoy. Like reading, or knitting, or talking on phone (my favorite!). Maybe even combine this with option #3 (get moving), and then you’ll be doing well.

5. Make some trade-offs. Okay, so you had a few too many snacks one day. You’ll do better next day. Or you’ll do some extra exercise to make up for it. If you have that snack, make a commitment to walk, instead of drive, on your next errand.

As with many things in life, it’s all about moderation. The benefits of working at home far outweigh (pun intended!) negative aspects. And if you can follow steps above to fight bulge, then you will make work-at-home experience that much more enjoyable.

Sixty healthy adults were randomly divided into three groups. The first group received daily supplements containing 6.6 g of omega-3 (containing 3.0g EPA and 2.9g DHA). Group two received 2.0g of omega-3 (containing 0.9g EPA and 0.8g DHA). The remaining group received only an olive oil placebo. The supplements were given for 12 weeks. Before and after supplements were consumed heart rate variability and blood cell fatty acids were measured. It was found that heart rate variability was favorably influenced by amount of omega-3 consumed. In other words, more omega-3 one consumed higher heart rate variability, especially in men with low heart rate variability before supplementing.

The researchers concluded that omega-3 fatty acids positively affected heart rate variability thus having a protective effect on heart function. These finding were similar to those of earlier studies showing that omega-3 positively affects heart rhythm in patients who had suffered a previous heart attack. Since sudden cardiac death is result of erratic heart rhythm, omega-3’s heart protective qualities show great promise in fight against sudden cardiac arrest. The mechanical studies completed by these and other researchers seemed to confirm other studies that oral ingestion of fish and fish oils provide prophylaxis for prevention of fatal cardiac arrhythmias when taken regularly in small amounts. In simple terms, consuming fish and fish oil supplements can save lives.
