Take a 10-minute walk after lunch

Step outside for a gentle walk right after you eat.

Why it helps

A light walk after a meal may help you feel less sluggish and more ready for the afternoon. It is also an easy way to get daylight and a mental break.

How to do it

1. Finish eating and put your plate away.
2. Walk at an easy pace where you can still talk.
3. Turn around after five minutes and come back.

Make it easier

Walk for five minutes, even just around the building.

Make it harder

Walk briskly for 15 minutes.
