Three Ways to Make Your Lunch Hour Healthier

Now that you are taking your R&D Diet Cookies with you and eating them throughout the day, you have a free hour to deal with (i.e. "lunch").  Here are 3 ways to make your lunch hour healthier and more fun!

1.  Bring your hobby to work.  Find out if any of your coworkers like to knit, read books or play cards, and commandeer a conference room or break table for a weekly get-together.

2.  Volunteer.  Many organizations would be happy to put you to work for just an hour at a time.  Call schools, churches, hospitals and other non-profits like the local no-kill animal shelter, or check out Volunteer Match to see what the needs are near your workplace.

3.  Lunch and Learn.  Plug in to an educational podcast, like Radio Lingua's free 20-minute language lessons.  A recent study at Yourk University in Toronto found that being bilingual may delay the onset of Alzheimer's.
