Stressed umbrella company contractors 'should exercise'
Posted by Daniel Frost
Umbrella company contractors who are stressed have been told to pick up a health regime instead of snack foods.
Tam Fry, National Obesity Forum board member and chair for the Child Growth Foundation, pointed out that many people turn to eating to try to calm themselves when pressured.
Another technique, which is apparent for company umbrella contractors who are working in front of a computer throughout a day, is that they will graze snack food and sandwiches.
However, Mr Fry believes that doing this can lead to obesity and the arrival of overweight conditions in those with umbrella companies.
Instead, he advised: "If you come to a stressful point of what you're doing, quite often a very good brisk half hour will actually clear everything and bring you back to your desk much more able to face whatever problem."
The advice follows on from new research by Jenny Craig which found that nearly as many men as women are set to take up a diet this month.
