ACIDIC LIFESTYLE: BPO-Call Center Agents

BPO-CALL CENTER AGENTS earn more than most of their peers in other industries, but face higher health risk with abnormal sleeping habits and habitual drinking activities.

A study from the University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI) reveals that on average, BPO-call center workers get 6.2 hours of sleep per day. These young workers are regular coffee drinkers more than 2 cups daily. They also drink soda and energy drinks daily, with an average of 1.5 bottles per day. They have high level consumption of chips, burgers, fries and fried chicken. More female BPO-call center workers skip meals. Majority consume 1-2 cigarette sticks during office breaks and regularly consume alcohol. 

Healthy Lifestyle Choices

BPO-Call Center Agents are at high risk of developing unfavorable health conditions and for that they need special care that will keep them healthy in spite of the stressful work conditions.  Here are some health tips: 

1. Hydrate by drinking lots of water, but stay away from cold water.
2. Stay away from Caffeinated drinks  and Cigarettes!  
3. Sleep is the only way for the body to re-energize and recuperate. 
4. Learn to relax when under stress. Take quick stretch breaks.
5. Find time to exercise.Sweat those excess fats out of your body.
6. Balanced Meals – that is the key to optimum health.  
7. Take the right supplements!  I am a fan of HCI CMD, CBF and SJ5 for energy, vitality and over-all health.
