Hydration and breaks 'the keys to productivity'

People can help to make their working days more productive by staying hydrated, taking regular breaks and learning how to manage their stress levels, it has been claimed.

According to Cognitive neuroscientist Dr Lynda Shaw, dehydration is a major reason why some people flag during the working day, so regular water intake is vital to get the best out of themselves.

"I would suggest you should always have a bottle of water by the desk and be drinking it all day to stay hydrated. Also, take breaks, and sometimes just try to switch your brain off. That's the toughest thing of all, but sometimes we just need to switch it off," she added.

Dr Shaw said that the key thing to remember is that when people are in information overload, it can be a very stressful position, so managing this and coping with workloads is essential.

"Employees are the most expensive resource, and any company not looking after them is just foolish," the expert added.
