Useful Tips

Cure These Four Unhealthy Office Habits

Forty hours on your feet or at a desk can take a toll on your body. Extra calories, dehydration, eyestrain and bacteria can attack both your health and your productivity.

Fight back with these four tips to stay healthy at work:

Sneaky Snacking. Candy and leftover holiday goodies will add extra fat and processed sugars to your diet and waistline. Partner up with another health conscious colleague and bring your own healthy snacks, to make sure you're eating healthier calories so you don't feel hungry between meals.

Eyes Crossed. Eyestrain can cause focusing issues, light sensitivity, chronic headaches and long-term damage to your eyes. Make sure you set your computer screen about an arm's length away. If you still find yourself squinting, try increasing the font size before putting on glasses.

Dehydration dangers. Not drinking enough water can lead to gastritis, poor digestion and heartburn, headaches, depression, weight gain, premature aging, and, over the long term, arthritis. Keep a water carafe or bottled water by your desk to stay hydrated at regular intervals. Set reminders on your phone to drink water if you must.

Keyboard cooties. Infectious germs can survive for hours to days on the hard surfaces of every working environment. Make sure to clean your keyboard, mouse and phone with disinfectant wipes, especially if you share these devices with others.

  • Joanne was amazing through our forever long process (or so it seemed). As first time home buyers, we had a really bad experience with another lender and Joanne blew us out of the water. She explained the step by step process and never hesitated to explain things further if we did not understand. She answered all our questions in a timely manner. Joanne was there even on weekends and late nights. My fiancé and I cannot thank Joanne enough for all she did for us! We definitely will recommend her to our friends! We also want to thank our laywer (who recommend Joanne to us!). They are a dynamic duo!!! If you think you want to work with Joanne do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed!

  • Joanne and Krista were incredibly responsive, patient and professional! Joanne guided me throughout the entire home purchase process and responded to all my questions promptly. Joanne did an excellent job getting me the lowest rate and patiently explaining to me the process in details. I thought applying for a home loan would be stressful, however, thanks to Joanne and her team, it was incredibly smooth. I highly recommend The Mortgage Place to everyone!

  • Joanne and her team were so fantastic during our first time home buying process. They were so helpful in providing feedback to our questions and made the whole experience of obtaining our first home loan seamless. With out a doubt we will always recommend to others and look to work with them again if were are in the market.

  • Good morning! Having a home with space is wonderful! The kids and I are so happy and feeling much more comfortable and at ease. We spent 2 days straight moving then began unpacking Saturday night. After church yesterday we organized and unpacked some more and last night was cleaning. We were able to begin our Monday morning routine with easy and comfort - I can't begin to express how truly grateful we are. We are feeling blessed and know without a doubt that God's hand was with us from the beginning. Thank you so much for all you did. You were an anchor for me and without your direction through this process I would have been lost.
