7.Hernia
Do you lift heavy objects at work? If you don’t do it the right way, you could get a hernia. That’s when a part of your bowel slips out through a weak spot in the muscles of your belly or groin. Hernias are even more likely if you’re overweight, if you smoke, or if you don’t eat a healthy diet. It’s usually several lifts that cause a hernia, not one. To Prevent It: Learn proper lifting technique. Use your arms and legs to lift, not your back. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, either.
8.Weight Gain
It’s all too easy to pack on extra pounds if you keep unhealthy snacks at your desk, give in to fast-food lunch runs, and sit for long periods. To Prevent It: Pack a lunch at home filled with fruits, vegetables and protein and healthy fats. Bring your own good-for-you snacks, too. If you work at a desk, take time each day to get up and move.
