Pretty much all of us become sick of work at some time or another but you don't want to get sick at work.  Here are a few common sense things you can do to help prevent seasonal illnesses.

Keep your desk or workspace clean.  Even if you have a cleaning crew that cleans the office, it's a good idea to clean your phone, keyboard, mouse, and anything else you handle or use frequently with a disinfectant wipe-especially when others may be sick around you.

Eat healthy balanced meals, especially breakfast, everyday!  Many people skip breakfast for what ever reason but research has shown that people who eat breakfast are healthier and maintain a healthier weight as well.  Keeping your body healthy and energized is a great way to stay healthy.

Drink plenty of water.  Common advice has been 8, 8oz glasses of water a day, but if you keep water with you throughout the day and drink it when you're thirsty, you will most likely get the right amount of water to stay hydrated.  Even though coffee and soda help to keep you awake, they also contribute to dehydration.

Take exercise breaks throughout the day.  If you find yourself feeling tired and sore, take a moment to stretch at your desk, or if you can, get up and walk around for a few minutes.  Taking short break, and keeping your body healthy and in shape, will not only help you feel better, but make you more productive as well.
