As we step into a new year, Vista Vending is ready to help our clients kickstart their well-being. Join us in putting health and wellness front and center in Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellevue. Focus on your body by eating healthy food every day, whether it’s at home or in the break room. Build more movement into your life. And finally, get the good quality sleep you deserve in order to recharge.
Health and Wellness Means Mindful Choices
A balanced diet plays a key role in well-being. Therefore, it’s time to load up on a mix of vegetables, such as leafy greens, bell peppers, celery, and carrots. Eating these types of healthy snacks in your Seattle office break room or as part of your meal provides rich vitamins and minerals that your body needs.
Opt for good protein choices too. Consider a salad with grilled chicken from your Seattle micro-market to support your muscle health and maintain your energy. Other great options are fish, eggs, or other legumes
Don’t forget about whole grains for long-term energy and fiber. Look for quinoa or brown rice snacks in Bellevue micro-markets or even Tacoma vending machines. Another idea is to swap white bread or pasta for whole wheat versions to get fiber that aids digestive health.
Last but not least, eat healthy fats. These are crucial for heart health and your brain. Find them in different nuts, avocados, and olive oil. Seattle office pantry service is a great way to bring these snacks into your workplace. We offer a variety of options and work within your budget to get the healthy choices you want in front of staff.
Movement is a Key Health and Wellness Pillar
Engaging in more daily physical activity is great for health. Some of our favorites are brisk walking, jogging, cycling or even dancing. Just get your heart pumping and you’ll boost your health and elevate your mood.
Add resistance exercise for more benefits. Think weightlifting and using bands. These types of activities build muscle strength and rev up metabolism.
Don’t forget flexibility and balance. Try yoga or pilates to keep or build mobility and stay fit.
If daily workouts seem like too much, start small. Take the stairs whenever you can, stand up and stretch at your desk, or plan a walking meeting. Even taking the long way to the break room will add up to more movement in your day.
Restful Sleep is Crucial to Well-Being
We all know we need 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night, but that can be tough. Here are some tips to help you get there. Start with a bedtime routine you do every day. It can be as simple as taking a hot bath or drinking some chamomile tea. Add relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or gentle stretching. The idea is to create a signal to your body that it’s time to wind down.
Another way to help you sleep better is to look at your bedroom. It should be dark and quiet. Try black-out shades and lined drapes if you work a third-shift job to keep the light and noise at bay. Your room should also be comfortably cool to ensure the best sleep.
Finally, keep things simple in the hours before bedtime. Skip the energy drink or espresso in your Seattle break room. The caffeine could keep you awake at night. Instead, opt for an herbal tea without caffeine made with hot, filtered water on demand.
It’s important to stay away from screens right before bed. The blue light signals our brain to be awake instead of wind down for sleep.
