7 Essential Office Etiquettes
Punctuality
: Don’t go to office on time. Go early. It’s the best way to avoid
going late to the office. You may not be appreciated for going to
the office on time, but you’ll definitely be disliked for going
late to the office.
Groom well
: Wear only formal dress when you go to work. Bathe your body and
wash your hair daily. Take care that you don’t stink from smoking
or sweating. Avoid wearing perfumes when you go to work.
Talk less
: Talking is a way to bonding with your colleagues. Share
something which is interesting or important. But avoid bragging.
Talk slowly; Talk sweetly and talk softly, but talk less.
Less noise
: Research says that a noisy environment can result in higher
stress levels and can reduce
productivity by as much as 40 percent. Close your desk drawers
gently. Close the doors without banging. Keep your mobile phone in
silent mode and request your family members and friends not to
call you unless it is urgent.
Neat and tidy
: Keep your desk tidy. (You can dump your clutter inside the
drawers). Put back things from where you take, so that your
colleagues are not inconvenienced. Clear the table after having
your lunch. Put the garbage in the garbage bin and flush the
toilet after using.
Eat less
: Eat less during lunch time and avoid junk food during snack
time. Heavy lunch can make you drowsy and cut your output. Junk
snacks can expand your waistline and lead to health problems as
there is no physical activity in the office.
Gossip carefully
: Gossiping is like dessert to meals. Go ahead and gossip, but
only about celebrities. Do not gossip about colleagues and
customers. It’ll come back and haunt you. |

Lose weight easier and faster
Researchers at the
University
of
Sydney
conducted a study on 200 obese men and women to find the best diet
for losing weight. One group was put on a low GI (Glycaemic Index)
and the other group on an high GI for 5 weeks. The weight of the
participants was monitored for the next 6 months.
The researchers found that people who were on a low GI food lost
more weight when compared to people who were on a high GI food. It
was also found that people who were on low GI food lost more
weight than people who were on a low-fat diet and people who were
on a low-calorie diet. The researchers concluded that a low GI
food not only helps reduce weight, it helps reduce weight easier
and faster.
Glycaemic Index is the rate at which the starch (Carbohydrate) in
the food is converted into glucose (Blood sugar). Foods that have
a GI of 70+ is considered as high GI food and foods that have a GI
of less than 55 is considered as low GI food.
Refined flour, corn flakes, refined sugar, potatoes, cookies are
some of the high GI food. Peanuts (GI 14), Soy (GI 15), Barley (GI
25), legumes, whole grains are some of the low GI food.
It’s already established that low GI food prevents diabetes and is
the most suitable for diabetic people. That’s two birds in one
stone. Eating a low GI food prevents obesity as well as diabetes.

England
bans indoor smoking
England
has become the ninth European nation to ban smoking in offices,
restaurants and pubs.
Ireland
was the first European country to ban smoking in 2004.
Sweden,
Italy,
Malta,
Belgium,
Finland,
Lithuania
and
Portugal
followed the footsteps of
Ireland.
Does ban on smoking help quit smoking? Yes, it does, says
statistics. When
Scotland
introduced indoor-smoking ban in March 2006, more than 15000
people had quit smoking, according to NHS (National Health
Service).
England
has nearly 10 million smokers and it costs NHS 3.4 billion dollars
to treat tobacco related diseases. Ban on indoor smoking is
expected to considerably reduce this huge cost.
Smoking inside offices cuts down productivity and ban on smoking
can raise productivity levels and boost income by a few billion
dollars. Thousands of innocents death due to passive smoking can
also be reduced considerably.
Do people welcome ban on smoking? 85 percent of the people have
welcomed it. Some smokers are confident that this ban will help
them quit smoking.

7 Secrets of Successful
Marriages |
|
US National Marriage Project recommends these guidelines to ensure
a long and happy marriage.
-
1. The best way to find a marriage partner is through family
members, friends, colleagues or acquaintances. The romantic way
of meeting by fate and falling in love is not the ideal way to
find a marriage partner.
-
People who come from common backgrounds and share common values
make better marriage partners than people who come from
different backgrounds.
-
College-educated men and women are less likely to divorce than
people who are less educated.
-
People who had cohabiting relationships before marriage are more
likely to experience marital unhappiness, marital conflict and
eventual divorce.
-
Marrying in the teens is the highest known risk factor for
divorce. They are three times more likely to divorce than people
who marry in their 20s.
-
If both marriage partners come from families broken by divorce,
they are three times more likely to divorce. However if one of
the marriage partners comes from an intact family, the risk of
divorce is lower.
-
Having children is considered as one of the least desirable
characteristics of a person wanting to get married. Having
children out of wedlock reduces the chance of even marrying.

Forgetting is as important as
remembering
Forgetting is not a disease. It is a natural biological process.
We may remember the last vacation vividly, but we may not be able
to recall the details of the vacation taken 5 years earlier. It's
quite natural and acceptable as well.
Information is stored in the brain in the form of chemical traces.
These chemical traces decay over the years, unless they are
reinforced by usage. ‘Use it or lose it’ principle applies here.
‘Overwriting’ is another biological process that erases a previous
neurological connection and forms a new connection. For example,
the place where you park your car today must overwrite the place
where you parked your car yesterday. Imagine what would happen if
it is not overwritten!
Loss of brain cells makes the information totally unavailable.
Alcohol is the leading assassin of brain cells followed by high
fever that accompanies illness.
But why is that we have difficulty in forgetting traumatic events?
Any experience accompanied by extreme emotions such as anger,
pleasure, pain etc. leaves a strong chemical trace in the brain.
So it takes a longer time to decay and wither.
When we ‘open up’ and talk out our traumatic experiences with
counselors , are we not interfering with the natural process of
decay and preventing these painful experiences to die a natural
death? Frank Furedi, a leading sociologist believes that talking
about out problems does more harm than good. Food for thought. |

Are your teens causing
you pain?
If your teenage son smokes, drinks, steals or watches adult
movies, you need not panic. It’s perfectly normal. This
‘bad’ behaviour starts at 13, peaks at 17 and totally
changes in adulthood.
What’s the reason for this ‘bad’ behaviour? Teenagers are
adults biologically, but they don’t have the society’s
approval to do many things that adults are approved to do.
One of the reasons, teenagers indulge in risky activities is
their curiosity to learn through experimentation. Parents
consider this bahaviour as bad but teenagers consider it as
rewarding, as a way to impress their friends and as a way to
show the world that they are capable of doing what adults
do.
Latest research on teenage brain has found that the part of
the brain that handles emotional maturity is fully developed
whereas that part of the brain that handles rational
behaviour is not yet fully developed.
It is this uneven development of the brain that is
responsible for the teenager to exhibit emotional maturity
but at the same time indulge in risky activities because
they are not able to think of the consequences of their
actions.
So next time when your teens behave badly, don’t blame them;
blame their brain.

Lack of
sleep affects our health
Scientists have already established that sleep recharges the
brain’s batteries and improves one’s mental
performance whereas lack of sleep affects concentration,
memory and learning.
A new study led by Prof. Eve Van Cauter from the US
Department of Medicine in
Chicago
found that lack of sleep leads to metabolic and hormonal
changes in the body that is associated with the ageing
process.
Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to not only early onset
of age-related ailments such as diabetes, hypertension,
obesity and memory loss, but it could also increase the
severity of these diseases.
Volunteers who participated in the study were restricted to
four hours of sleep for six nights. When they were tested
after the period of sleep deprivation, researchers found
higher levels of glucose and cortisol in the blood. Higher
level of glucose in the blood can lead to diabetes and
obesity, whereas higher levels of cortisol in the blood can
lead to hypertension and heart ailments.
Due to increase in the work load and due to addiction to
entertainment, people sleep less than 8 hours a day. People
who work shifts sleep less than 5 hours a day.Not
only people sleep less, the quality of the sleep is also
poor, due to noise and other environmental factors. Is the
price we pay worth the benefits we enjoy? |
