People who work shifts sometimes skip meals, eat irregularly, eat unhealthy food, and may find it hard to keep up a regular exercise schedule.

Working a shift schedule, your eating and exercise habits can suffer.

Shift workers are at higher risk for weight gain and heart disease.

Healthy eating and exercise help improve your sleep and your overall health.

These are some easy tips which can help you stay healthy even with an irregular or shift work schedule:

• Have healthy foods readily available at home and at work. 

• Bring your own food to work.

• Eat small, frequent meals as opposed to large heavy ones.

• Moderate your caffeine consumption

• Exercise moderately.

• Get the sleep you need.

• Drink plenty of fluids.
