Health and Fitness

Recent research has shown that getting out of the office chair and walking may be more critical to an employee's health than many employers realize. Sedentary work environments have been shown to increase levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) which decreases the body's ability to break down fat; and also decrease levels of Lipase, an enzyme critical to burning fat as fuel for muscles. Fortunately, both of these adverse effects may be reversed by consistent daily walking and proper dietary selections.
