Work can be a great source of reward, but also a source of stress. Staying healthy at work includes finding ways to manage stress and keep from getting burned out. You may not have control of everything that affects you on the job. But there are ways to stay healthy at work.

A big part of staying healthy at work is safety. That includes preventing back pain and injuries. If your job involves lifting, learn how to lift safely. If your job involves a lot of sitting, take time to move and stretch throughout your workday. Adjust your chair to give you good support. Use good posture to prevent strain on your back.

Managing stress, finding ways to boost how happy you are with your job, and making time to spend with family and friends can go a long way toward keeping you healthy at work.
