Why Office Workers Need a Special Diet Plan
If you’re someone who spends 6–10 hours a day at a desk, you’re not alone. Millions of people in 2025 live a sedentary lifestyle due to office-based jobs. Unfortunately, this leads to:
- Weight gain
- Low energy
- Poor digestion
- Increased health risks
But with a smart and easy diet plan, you can stay fit, energetic, and avoid common health problems — even while working a full-time job.
