How many of us hit that mid-afternoon slump and immediately run for a
fresh cup o’ Joe? (For me, it's hot tea.) There’s a better alternative
though and this one is easy on the bank account. Read: FREE.
If you’re looking to increase your focus, creativity, or just clear
your mind—leave your desk and take a walk. Yep, it’s that simple.

According to a recent study in Diabetologia medical journal, a
15-minute walk when you start to feel the mid-morning/afternoon fade
will give you a jolt of energy to continue on your day. Also, the fresh
air and greenery can help to boost your mood. Not bad for something such
a simple fix. Goodbye frustration over X project, hello newly refreshed
you!
Research shows that the average person spends a great portion of
his/her day sitting—50 to 70 percent, in fact. This might not sound like
the worst thing you could do health-wise, but there is such a thing as
too much sitting. In fact it’s called the “sitting disease” and the
numbers show that the longer you sit, the more likely you are to develop
diabetes, cancer, obesity, or heart disease. Yikes.

If that’s not enough reason to get moving—an added bonus to taking
walks during the work day: improved creativity! While it won’t
necessarily turn ya into the next Einstein, research shows that people
who walk increase their creative thinking by 60 percent.
What say, will you trade in your afternoon coffee for an energy-boosting walk around the block?
