Recently there have been reports of many bankers and telecomm workers slumping at work in Nigeria, issues with blood clots, and other health issues. Recently two staff; one in Zenith and another in UBA; recently died and this could have been avoided. The staff in UBA slumped on the staircase and passed away and the Zenith staff died at a party she and her husband were attending.
Cause of death?
Both staff had been working for more than 6 months without leave of any sort. The lady had been complaining of leg pains, not knowing she had a blood clot in her leg. She had been massaging the leg for sometime, which the doctor said added to reasons why she could not be saved. The UBA staff had been working, also without leave and working all hours of the day and weekend. Presently another banker is in Igbobi undergoing physiotherapy for a slipped disk due to his sitting position and long hours at work. Apparently Igbobi is full of bankers and telecomm workers undergoing different stages of physiotherapy.
Let us all try to take our lives a little more seriously. The following tips may help us;
* Always take 60 minutes break in between work. Walk around your office or along a corridor for a minimum of 5- 10 mins to ease kinks in the neck and back.
* Drink a lot of water during the day to work your kidneys and make you get up to go the loo.
* Always have your complete lunch break; in case you are not aware, this is for an hour.
* Always endeavour to exercise for at least 20 minutes a day, and
* Most importantly, please take your leave when due. It does not have to be the whole of your leave, it can be
a casual leave for a couple of days. This will ensure your body is replenished regularly.
Best Regards.
