17．Staying healthy at work isn't always easy．With all your co-workers sneezing around you，it seems impossible．Find out how to avoid the germs（細菌） with these tips
Wash your hands often．
You should wash your hands every time after you use the restroom，before you eat，after you sneeze or cough．Also，keep a bottle of hand sanitizer（洗手液）at your desk．
Eat balanced meals every day-including breakfast!
Many people don't eat breakfast because it takes too long to eat in the morning．It has been proven（證明）that the people who eat breakfast are healthier and more likely to remain a healthy weight．
Drink at least 8glasses of water a day．
Sodas and coffee may help you stay awake，but they will also lead to dehydration（導(dǎo)致脫水）．So you also need to be sure to drink water．Just keep a water bottle with you all the time，drink throughout the day and you will probably get what you need．
Take frequent breaks throughout the day．
When you feel tired，get up and walk around for a few minutes．Taking breaks and keeping your body in shape will help you feel better and make you more productive．
Use your vacations．
It seems that there is never a good time to be away from the office，but the people who do not take vacations are more likely to be sick．Taking vacations is a good way to relieve stress．So even if it is just a short weekend，use it and don't take your work with you．

It is common that smoking is bad for your health．Smokers get sick much easily than non-smokers．
