For us, snacks have become an indispensable part of our work. Every office worker must have seen snacks on his desk.
These snacks range from dried sweet potatoes and dried fruits, which are local specialties, to yogurt and turkey noodles, which are popular all over the network.
However, eating snacks at work also comes at a price.
The data shows that more than 2 1% of office workers are overworked. Apart from lack of exercise, eating snacks is a very important reason.
Several legitimate reasons for eating snacks at work
According to the survey, 90% of companies do not explicitly prohibit employees from eating snacks at work (but eating melon seeds at work all day is too much ~). If your company has such regulations, you might as well punish your boss for these reasons!
1. Snack meal replacement
If you don't have the habit of eating breakfast or don't have time to eat breakfast, some office workers will prepare biscuits and yogurt in the office, as well as snacks such as buns.
10 am is the best time to eat snacks. Because the breath of getting up at this time disappeared, I felt more hungry after waking up, and there were still 2 hours before lunch time. Eating snacks at this time can reduce hunger without affecting lunch intake.
2. Relieve stomach trouble
As one of the most common workplace diseases, gastric ulcer is mostly caused by sitting in the office for a long time and eating irregularly.
If you don't eat for a long time, the gastric acid will be secreted too much, and the gastric wall membrane will be digested, which will easily lead to gastric ulcer.
Eating some snacks during work breaks can effectively prevent gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric ulcer.
3. Replenish energy and relieve fatigue
90% of the company's attendance time is from 9 am to 6 pm, and 5-6 hours of continuous work in the afternoon can easily make us tired.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, eating snacks and drinking a cup of afternoon tea can not only quickly replenish energy, but also bring short-term relaxation, relieve nerves and relieve physical and mental fatigue.
4. Enhance the relationship with colleagues
At work, colleagues share snacks with each other and discuss the taste and price of snacks. In the process of chatting, interpersonal relationships will become more harmonious.
If snacks are a specialty of my hometown, we can also talk about the local customs of my hometown together.
Guide to eating snacks in the office
Although it is not explicitly forbidden to eat snacks in the office, there are some taboos and techniques, no matter the posture or type of snacks.
1. Eat snacks correctly.
Avoid eating from morning till night.
As a boss, it's no big deal to see employees eating snacks. After all, humanized companies will also provide afternoon tea as employee benefits.
But eating snacks and not working is definitely unacceptable to the boss. Therefore, it is very important to choose the time to eat snacks.
Generally speaking, it is acceptable to eat snacks at 10 in the morning and 3-4 pm, and it is best not to eat snacks for more than 30 minutes at a time.
Keep your voice low and snacks as tasteless as possible.
Eating snacks should not affect colleagues, such as chewing your mouth, eating melon seeds and eating potato chips, which will definitely cause public outrage.
In addition, there are snail powder, durian, canned herring and so on. It should not be taken to the office to eat, because the office is poorly ventilated and the taste will not be scattered for a long time.
Clean up the garbage in time and maintain hygiene.
Any personality can be reflected in small things, and eating snacks is no exception.
If you leave a pile of peel scraps untreated after eating snacks, your leader will think you are an irresponsible person.
Step 2 recommend snacks
There is a question on the Zhihu: "What is the best snack to eat in the office?" This question has more than 1300 answers and more than 9.6 million views.
It can be seen that office workers are still very vocal about delicious snacks. Recommend some delicious snacks to everyone (definitely not just a meal! ! )。
Breakfast substitute
This kind of snacks is mainly to solve the problem of office workers not eating breakfast. They are characterized by rich nutrition and high energy, which makes us have abundant spirit to work.
It is suggested that snacks such as milk, yogurt, cakes, meat muffins and fruits rich in vitamins such as apples and strawberries can not only increase satiety, but also supplement nutrition.
Energy supply grade
After work, especially when you are sleepy in the afternoon, eating some energy-rich snacks can relieve fatigue and make people feel refreshed quickly, such as chocolate snacks.
In addition, dried fruit snacks, such as peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts and so on. , highly recommended. They are rich in protein, vitamin B, vitamin E, calcium, iron and vegetable fat, but they do not contain cholesterol.
It can not only replenish energy, restore brain power, relieve fatigue, but also effectively prevent obesity.
If the map is convenient, there are many brands of "daily nuts" snacks on the market, such as three squirrels, herbal flavors, and good shops, which are worth buying. Small package solves the problem of storage and carrying, and avoids the trouble of peeling and coring.
milk tea
For office workers, milk tea is no longer a simple drink, but the nectar to save the soul.
Three cents sugar, a taro, a coconut, a pearl, plus a little jelly and pudding, a cup of milk tea with a sense of happiness as high as 200% is believed to cheer up anyone who is sleepy.
Meituan's "Meituan Takeaway Milk Tea Consumption Report" shows that milk tea has conquered the vast majority of women in the workplace: 95% of female users under the age of 26 must order a cup every week. They even counted the milk tea addiction of employees of several major Internet companies.
Visible milk tea has become an indispensable source of happiness for office workers.
Childhood memory
Snack is not only a kind of food, but also a feeling. Every office worker will have his own snack land in his heart.
I have to mention, for example, "AD Calcium", Malisu, Mala Tang (it is not recommended to eat in the office, it tastes heavy and greasy), Mimi and so on.
I am also very happy to eat childhood memories and talk about childhood experiences with my colleagues in the office.
If there is any motivation other than salary for me to work in the company (fishing), it is probably a snack. If tea time can still chat with his colleagues, it seems like a good thing to go to work.
