Bordentown Township Takes on Fitness EffortsBordentown Township is focusing on increasing wellness efforts by implementing the use of standing desks. Many employees have chosen to switch to a standing desk, giving them an opportunity to stand or sit when they decide. Standing desks are known for their health benefits, such as improved posture, better brain function, and increased productivity! Studies suggest that giving employees the option of standing, even for a short period of time, can produce weight loss, reduce back pain, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels and can even increase life expectancy! |
