Sitting for long hours creates havoc to your body. I think ideally one should take a break at least once every 2 hours.. just walk around and stretch yourself.. You can also do some short 5 minute workouts at your desk itself in case you can't walk out. Check out www.thewavecorporation.com they have some very good short exercises you can do. You tube too has quite a few good videos you could look at. #12 is a very important point. Sitting for long hours creates havoc to your body.

It is very unlikely that you are in the wrong job. However, if you implement the above points mentioned in the article, it should help you somewhat in overcoming the common problems associated with desk jobs. If you are always feeling cold by 12pm, this maybe related to many other factors, such as the actual temperature of the room, the type of clothes you are wearing and the last time you ate a meal. You need to ask yourself many questions related to your diet and exercise regime, such as: - Are you exercising? If so, how varied is your approach? - Are you eating consistantly throughout the day? i.e. not just 1 or 2 meals a day - Do you eat enough protein? If you are a vegetarian, do you combine different foods to meet the essential amino acid (i.e. protein) requirements? - Do you drink enough water? - How much tea/coffee do you drink during a typical work day? Tea/coffee are diuretics (simply put, they make you go to the toilet) and as a result you start to lose minerals which you may not be replenishing from your diet. - How often do you get up and walk away from you desk? What is the longest period of time you spend at your desk before you take a break? The questions could be endless. Though I hope they serve as a guide to help you improve some aspects of your life which you may have overlooked. Hope that helps. Take care :) Dear Elizabeth,

Your site is fascinating but I would like to know more about 'office syndrome'. I am always cold by about 12pm and when I go home I can't get warm for hours and I fall asleep all the time. I have continual headaches and swollen legs. Do you think I am in the wrong Job? Is it normal to feel this bad for 5 days a week? Dear Healthblogger.
