Good Luck.
new study shows that too many people are working through their lunch hour. Not taking proper lunch break is unhealthy. It can make people sick, so then they need time off work. The study is from Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) in U.K. It interviewed over 2,000 people about what they do for lunch at work. Twenty per cent of workers said they did not take lunch break. They worked through their lunch hour. Half of people took break but ate their lunch at their desk and surfed Internet, answered e-mails or went on Facebook. One in five people left workplace for lunch to go shopping or get some air, while three per cent went to gym.

CSP told companies they should encourage all staff to take regular lunch break. It said workers needed to get more exercise at work so they do not get ill. CSP spokeswoman Karen Middleton said: "Full-time workers spend significant bulk of their week at work or travelling to and from it. Finding ways to build in time to do at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity, five times week, can be challenge." She warned that when employees get sick because they do not take breaks, companies lose money. She said: "It is in everybody's interests to find ways to tackle enormous problem of inactivity…and we would encourage people to take responsibility for their own health."
