FORT BENNING, Ga., (Sept. 16, 2015) -- Do you realize that you spend most of your waking hours at work? Ensuring you keep up your healthy physical and nutritional habits at work is key to having an overall healthy lifestyle. Use the tips below to help you stay focused and fueled at work.

FOUR EASY WAYS EAT HEALTHIER AT WORK

1) Take out the trash: Rid your desk drawers of all the unhealthy snacks. Yup, that includes crackers disguised as a healthy treat. The less you're tempted by junk food, the healthier you'll eat.

2) Forget vending: Sorry, most of the items in the vending machine are not healthy. Try stocking your desk with dried fruit, low-sodium low-fat jerky, packaged tuna and fruits.

3) Invest in a mini-fridge: Mini-fridges are not just for the college dorm. Consider getting a small mini fridge to stock up on fat-free yogurts, fresh veggies and bottle water. The convenience of having a fridge in your office will make it easier to plan your meals and bring healthy leftovers. If you can't fit a mini-fridge in your area, don't forget the office break room fridge or simply pack a small cooler.

4) Bring in a water bottle. Start each day with a full bottle of water at your desk and make an effort to drink water often starting first thing in the morning. You'll stay hydrated and energized.
