“Sitting is the new smoking” Dr. James Levine (Mayo Clinic)
It’s likely you’ve heard this quote from Dr. Levine before. For most people, sitting at a desk for 8+ hours is the reality of an office position. But sitting down for long periods of time with minimal to no movement can increase the risks of diabetes, heart attack, stroke, etc.
Which is why, GMacSpurr Coaching has the below corporate offerings that can help support employees’ health and wellness by focusing on simple things that can be done every day, week and month. These simple movement and nourishment strategies can help increase productivity and alertness, as well as improving memory, mood and cognitive function.
