4 Health Tips for Salaried Workers

Salaried workers tend to choose work over taking care of ourselves, focusing on working hard to save money and build ourselves up, rather than resting or exercising. Health always comes last. When faced with illnesses, if someone does not have life and health insurance, the medical bills can cause difficulty. Since health is something that needs to be taken care of and planned for, Muang Thai Life Assurance has some good information to share. Let’s see what kind of health issues that salaried workers need to know if they do not want to make mistakes.

Plan to Deal with Illnesses

The lifestyle of office workers is also at high risk of getting sick. Therefore, do not forget to set aside time to take care of your health, exercise regularly for good health, and plan to deal with unexpected medical expenses. Life and health insurance must be prepared. This will help you feel confident that your savings will not be lost due to illness. Also, do not be complacent because of the company’s health welfare because some illnesses may only show symptoms at a later age after you retire. If you do not have health planning now, when the time comes, even the welfare you have may not be enough to cover you.

Take a Break from Partying

After a tiring day at work, they might want to have time to socialize with friends, but they should not party hard or drink heavily every day. In addition to increasing the body’s accumulated fatigue, drinking alcohol regularly will have many negative effects on health, especially internal organs such as the liver, which will be stimulated to accumulate fat until it becomes inflamed and fibrosis. If it happens in the long term, it will cause liver cirrhosis, reduced liver function, liver failure, and eventually lead to liver cancer. As a result, not only spending on partying, there are also a lot of unavoidable expenses for illnesses and medical expenses. Any salaried workers who are making mistakes and neglecting their health for the sake of having fun must be careful, quickly change their lifestyle, and turn to taking care of their health for long-term happiness.

Balance Diet, Reduce Sugar, Fat, Salt

Delicious, spicy, sweet, fatty and salty foods that office workers like us consume in excess every day are one of the main causes of serious diseases called “NCDs” (Non-Communicable Diseases) or groups of chronic non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cerebrovascular and heart disease, cancer, emphysema, hypertension and central obesity. Currently, it is also considered the main cause of death for Thais, which is often hidden in processed foods, snacks or beverages in the form of sugar, fat and sodium. Therefore, to prevent long-term health problems, office workers should change their eating behavior, gradually adjust the amount of cooking to be just right, eat more vegetables and fruits instead of foods with carbohydrates or fat. Most importantly, they should exercise to build strong immunity for the body, and set aside time for effective rest so that they will be far from illness and will not have to waste both money and time on illness.

Regular Exercise

In addition to work challenges, illness and health are also another challenge for office workers. If you neglect your health like this, you will only get sick. Therefore, you must quickly strengthen your body's defenses by changing your lifestyle. If you work hard, you must take care of yourself even more. Start exercising today. You can start with low-intensity exercises such as swinging your arms, brisk walking, or jogging at least 3 days a week. This is also a starting point for good health in the long run. It helps your heart and lungs work more efficiently, prevents serious diseases, reduces excess fat and body weight, increases body strength, keeps you away from diseases, and saves you a lot of money when you get sick.

Taking care of yourself and planning your health in advance is still important, regardless of any careers, especially for salaried employees who probably do not want their savings to run out on medical treatment.
