Health Tips: Are You A Workaholic

As I was busy searching for ideas on health tips, my best friend came over coffee and the usual chat. Needless to say she looked exhausted, zombie like even. She is a good person, hardworking and does what her job asks of her. Basically
she is a workoholic. Now we are not talking about the 8 or 12 hour day we are leaning more to 16 hours everyday with one weekend off a month! After handing her a coffee she started sobbing and saying "I can't do this anymore". Yes, she has let work control her and now it has almost driven her off the edge. She doesn't take vitamins, she doesn't spend time with loved ones or even go on a date. Basically she is not taking care of herself at all. If you can relate to this story here are some health wise tips:

- Honesty
Your friends don't see you anymore, you family hardly gets a text. Be honest with them and tell them the truth about why you have been so distance, assure them of your love. If you have problems at work or had a terrible week, tell someone. Don't think that it will make you a whiner or less of a person for complaining as it will not only help you feel better but also make them understand.

- Be Caring
You only have a Sunday or one day a week to yourself, meaning no work. What are you going to do? Think about what you have to do when you get back to work? No ways! It's time you spent some time on yourself whether it be staying in bed the whole day reading a book, go on a dinner date with friends whoe haven't seen you in ages, maybe going out with that special girl you have fancied for the past year or how about getting some fresh air and go for a picnic.

- Vitamins
It's time to see a doctor or herbalist or even a pharmisit, explain your situation to them and let them suggest some vitamins and supplements. Don't just take the first box of vitamin pills on the shelf in store rather find out what will be good for you. Remember that saying "Diamonds are a girls best friend". Well they lied it's more like "Vitamins are a girls best friend".

- Be Healthy
Eat foods that are healthy, like that stuff you call vegtables, and stay away from junk food. Drink lots of water and keep your alcohol intake to a minimum. Most importantly, get some proper sleep. If you can't sleep try reading a book or magazine, but avoid watching TV or sitting infront of the PC as this also causes sleeplessness. Remember your mind needs to rest too.
