Being a hardworking and dedicated employee is essential, but not taking regular breaks and skipping lunch could harm you. Without adequate breaks from work, productivity, mental well-being, and overall work performance begin to suffer.

Lunch breaks are one of the most important meals of the day because it raises your blood sugar in the middle of the day, making you able to focus for the rest of the afternoon. Here are some great benefits that lunch breaks have on your mental and physical health.

1. Resets focus and relieves stress. A lunch break allows you to rest your mind and body, meaning you'll be returning to your desk more relaxed and with a clear mind.

2. Creates opportunity for socialization - the lunch break is a great way to chat and build bonds with your co-workers, which often leads to stronger collaboration and teamwork in the office.

3. Encourages mindful eating - taking a lunch break is a chance to step away from the blue screen and from work. As a result, you have a chance to practice mindfulness while eating, rather than quickly have a snack while reading your emails or eating at your desk while still working.

4. Improves mental well-being - We all experience stress at work. Taking time away from your desk and enjoying a nourishing lunch, helps release some of this stress and improves mental well-being.

5. Boost creativity - sometimes, it's hard to come up with new ideas when you've been looking at the same thing all day. Taking a break can give you a fresh perspective on challenging tasks. A lunch break will most certainly help get those creative juices flowing.
