Most of our working hours are spent in the workplace. So what do during those hours can have a significant impact on our overall health. A positive wellness culture during the workday can contribute to better health—physical, mental, and emotional well-being(良好的状态) for you and your co-workers. Healthy people are more productive, more constructive and require fewer sick days and health associated costs. Both employers and employees can promote a healthier work environment. Don't let your work environment affect your health for eight hours of the day. Break up your work day. Get up, stretch, and move. Regular movement throughout the day will keep your mind and body flexible and help avoid fatigue(疲劳).
Think of ways you can add movement or at least decrease the amount of time you are sitting. Try getting out of your chair more, standing during your calls, or alternating your chair with a yoga(瑜伽) ball. And if you have to drive to work, try parking at the far end of the lot, taking the stairs, and going the long way to the bathroom and break room. Healthy employees work better.

Our company offers a full range of Smart Home products, focusing on making your home safer and more convenient, and saving energy. All of the products are simple, even if what happens behind the scenes is clever. The Smart Home Controller is the heart of the system. It communicates with all your other products, and lets you control them with the easy-to-use mobile
app for phones, even if you're stuck on the motorway 300 miles from your home Wi-Fi. The Radiator Thermostat(散热器恒温控制器) lets you control your heating away from home or from the sofa. And unlike some smart heating systems, you can set the temperature per room, helping you save even more energy and money. The Smart Plug offers similar advanced control, from TVs and game controllers to the lamp(灯) in the kids' room. You just don't need to worry about whether you left something on after leaving home. You can just check on your phone, and switch things off from the app. If you want to save energy, you might want to buy Starter Kit. This includes two Radiator Thermostats, the Smart Home Controller and Door/Window Contact. These use a sensor (感应器) that lets you know if you've left a window open or if someone tries to break in. That brings us to the other side of the Smart Home, security and safety.
