To work like a lively dragon, you must have a high VQ

"Are you tired?" This is not just a simple advertising line, but also represents the voice of most office workers. Whenever they see their colleagues are in low spirits and their work efficiency is declining, people around them can't help but greet them with this greeting. According to a job bank survey, 95% of middle and senior managers agree that "competitiveness in the workplace comes from endless vitality" and "energized employees have more opportunities for promotion", which shows the importance of health and vitality to office workers.

The survey shows that energetic office workers are more competitive in the workplace.

For most office workers, the main reasons for lack of vitality include stress, uneven nutritional intake, irregular life, etc., among which stress is the most common and the most obvious. Generally speaking, when the body and mind are burdened, the adrenal glands will secrete hormones such as adrenaline or cortisol, and the sympathetic nerves will become tense, causing blood pressure to rise in order to relieve stress. However, if this state continues for a long time, blood circulation will deteriorate, leading to reduced immunity, and symptoms such as headaches, shoulder and neck pain, irritability, insomnia, constipation or diarrhea will occur, affecting work efficiency and workplace competitiveness.

If you want to improve your competitiveness in the workplace, you must have good vitality, that is, a high VQ (Vitality Quotient) in four aspects: work efficiency, creativity, stress resistance, and lifestyle.

1. Learn time management and improve work efficiency

Learn time management and grasp time, so that you can concentrate for a long time at work, and complete each task with the correct steps within the working time, so as to improve work efficiency, instead of misunderstanding that "working overtime means being serious".

2. Arrange the office environment to stimulate innovation

Placing your favorite dolls, toys or patterns on your desk can not only temporarily relieve work stress, but also stimulate creativity and imagination, and help integrate relevant resources to create valuable services or products.

3. Exercise moderately and learn to resist stress

When you are overwhelmed by work, or your brain is deprived of oxygen and your thoughts are confused due to sitting for a long time, you can relax by doing some exercise, yoga and massage to loosen up your muscles and bones, breathe fresh air, increase the amount of active oxygen in your blood, and relieve tension and stress.

4. Balanced diet, good spirit and vitality

Consuming a balanced diet every day provides the body with sufficient nutrients, making a healthy body a source of "vitality". A balanced diet includes:

• 3 to 6 bowls of grains and root vegetables: rice, pasta, sweet potatoes and other staple foods, which mainly provide carbohydrates and some protein.

• 1 to 2 cups of milk: Milk, fermented milk, cheese and other dairy products are rich in calcium and protein.

• 4 servings of eggs, beans, fish and meat: Eggs, fish, meat, tofu, dried tofu and soy milk are all rich in protein.

• 3 plates of vegetables: Vegetables mainly provide vitamins, minerals and fiber. Dark green and dark yellow-red vegetables, such as spinach, cabbage, carrots, pumpkin, etc., contain more vitamins and minerals than light-colored vegetables.

• 2 pieces of fruit: Fruits can provide vitamins, minerals and fiber. For example: orange, tangerine, papaya, guava, pineapple, banana, etc.

• 2 to 3 tablespoons of oils and fats: Cooking oil and nuts such as peanuts and cashews can provide fat.
