Lack of exercise at work
Because I often have cold feet, I always thought that would be a solution. MOVEMENT in the workplace would be very helpful. I also hope this approach prevails in all companies.
One must also learn to stand up from his desk chair. When making calls or read letters back and forth or not to call their colleagues or send an e-mail, but personally go by. This not only strengthens team spirit, but also health.
