cholesterol levels under control and lower your risk of heart disease.

How to Decompress at Work
Give each of the following stress-reducing strategies a try.
-
Exercise. At break time, take a 5- or 10-minute walk around the block or the office.
-
Take a deep breath. Slow, deep breathing brings more oxygen into your body, relaxes your muscles and slows your heart rate.
-
Check your posture. Sit up straight and press your lower back against your chair.
-
Get away from it all. Find a place in the building where you can escape when necessary.
-
Stand for a while. Sitting for hours stresses your back, thighs, neck and other muscles.
