Fact: Working in the typical modern office is hazardous to your health. Hunching over a keyboard for a third of the day makes employees fatter, sicker and more stressed than less sedentary occupations do.
And here’s the rub: The health damage inflicted by desk-bound drudgery cycles back and hurts the companies you work for. How? The high cost of obese employees for businesses.
My chamber is putting on a special event on Sept. 30, called Occupy Health Los Angeles at Woodbury University. We are trying to help families become healthier and learn what they need to do to maintain their health. More information is available on our Chamber website: www.noho.org/events/occcupyhealthLA
This blog explains the need for reducing the obesity rate throughout our country.
