The purpose of this research is to learn more about the impact of teaching on teachers' health and to find practical ways to help teachers sustain their health and wellness while teaching.

Coping with the demands of teaching can turn to be overwhelming.

Thus, considering the importance of health and well-being in sustaining one's job and the quality of its performance, we sought to do a small-scale survey to ask teachers about their health, how teaching affects it, and what they do to stay fit seeing that teaching can be exhausting.

Since our purpose is to examine the impact of teaching on one's body and mind, a questionnaire is used with 18 university teachers from Algeria.

The results demonstrate that the sample consider teaching as a tiring profession even when they work less than 10 hours per week.

Also, teaching has a notable impact on university teachers' health and well-being.
