  If you work in an office, you’ve probably already experienced that heavy feeling that clouds your thinking and makes you lose the desire to exist in the earthly plane. No, it's not the same laziness you feel when returning to work on a Monday after a long weekend. The “pork disease” is lethal and overwhelming, and sooner or later it affects us all. 1. Any corner is a comfortable resting zone When the “pork disease” takes over, there is no human power that can pull us out of that powerful state of drowsiness. It could rain or thunder (or your boss’s secretary could walk by) and you wouldn’t even notice. 2. The squirrel, instead of running, crawls When you’re possessed by the “pork disease,” everything happens in an extremely slow and paused manner. Even the simplest tasks, like sending an email or answering the phone, become levels of complexity previously unknown. 3. You forget even your name Speaking of mental speed… Being under the effects of the “pork disease” means you’ll be practically sedated for the rest of the day. So your tasks and deadlines will have to wait until tomorrow. 4. Meetings are true sleeping pills If meetings (work-related, of course, because we're always ready to watch World Cup matches in the meeting room) are boring even for the most formal office worker, with 6 tacos and 2 beers in you, meetings become the most desired dream of any insomniac. 5. Your productivity is equivalent to your desire to exercise on a Sunday morning In other words, basically, zero. After overindulging in delicious, calorie-laden food, you just return to the office to warm your seat and check the clock for quitting time. Admit it, you’ve done it too: browsing your Facebook or watching recipe videos is not exactly what your boss considers productivity. Since it’s highly unlikely that they’ll implement a nap hour in your office and you still have 13 monthly payments left to finish paying for your phone, it’s best to learn how to cope with the “pork disease.” The ideal is to eat light and not let too much time pass between meals, but we know that’s not always possible. If you couldn’t resist the craving for some irresistible tamale sandwiches or your endless tasks prevent you from eating at decent hours, take a short walk before returning to your desk. Moving around a bit activates digestion and makes it easier to process the binge you just had. Another tip that can help you is to work in well-lit places with white lights that have blue tones. (Yes, there’s really a difference). But if the light isn't helping you or you don't have time to take a walk, Red Bull is the solution. Recover your energy and boost your productivity with a cold can of Red Bull. Visit www.redbull.mx/maldelpuerco and win a fridge full of products for your entire office.
