About

Healthy Corporate, briefly

Most workplace wellness advice assumes a standing desk, a quiet room, and an hour to spare. Healthy Corporate starts from the workday you actually have. We cover movement and ergonomics, food and hydration at work, and the stress that comes with modern jobs — in language that respects different bodies, budgets, schedules, and dietary needs.

Nothing here replaces professional care. Where an article makes a substantive health claim, it names the public agency, medical organisation, or peer-reviewed research it came from so you can read the original.

Desk-side notes

Four things that take under a minute

Short, general prompts for a busy day. Adapt them to your body, your job, and the space you work in.

  • Reset the screen

    Set the top of your monitor at roughly eye level and about an arm’s length away, so your neck is not tipped forward all afternoon.

  • Change position on the hour

    Stand, walk to fill a glass of water, or simply shift how you are sitting. Public health guidance is consistent that breaking up long sitting helps.

  • Rest your eyes

    Eye-care organisations suggest looking at something about twenty feet away for around twenty seconds, roughly every twenty minutes of screen work.

  • Close the day on purpose

    Write tomorrow’s first task before you log off. A defined stopping point makes it easier to stop thinking about work once you have.
