S3Ep7: The Power of Micro-Breaks
Episode description
Sitting is something most of us do in abundance, especially with the so much time and step-saving technology available. If you work a desk job, you probably spend a large portion of your day sitting. Spending too many hours at a time sitting down can lead to some health issues such as back pain, neck pain, poor circulation, poor sleep and even increases risk of heart disease and obesity.
On this episode, Sharp Best Health and guest, Nicole Archambault, Ergonomic Specialist at Sharp HealthCare, discuss simple things we can all do at work to add more movement into our day, reduce negative effects of sitting, and protect our health!
