5. Stay Active
Try and move at least once an hour. Make a habit of getting up from your desk once each hour throughout the workday. During your lunch break, go for a walk, and when you do take your water bottle with you. It may sound simple, but the act of standing up may remind you to grab your water bottle. Don't forget to increase your physical activity and always ensure you bring your water bottle with you.Â
