As part of our ongoing mission to spread a greater quality of life around the world we’ve put together a series of blog posts to help you improve your lifestyle. Over the next few weeks we’re going to be publishing tips and advice to help you minimise the impact of office work on your body.
The human body was designed to move, it was not designed to sit down for 8 hours a day. This lack of movement causes issues, particularly when we have heightened levels of stress. We are more emotionally sensitive when we have increased stress levels but what many people don’t realise is that we are equally more sensitive physically too. Simply put: we feel more pain with increased stress.
Here are our tips on how to help you stop your office job affecting your health:
