Is sitting the new smoking? “A day in the office without moving is the same on a health basis as smoking a pack of cigarettes!” – US physician and oncologist David B. Agus is being deliberately provocative with this statement, of course, in an effort to focus attention on the important topic of prevention. Our guest author, Wojciech Czaja, has expanded on this, addressing healthy nutrition too, in the cover story. The result is a guide to building a healthy office.

“A day in the office without moving is the same on a health basis as<br />
smoking a pack of cigarettes!” – US physician and oncologist David B.<br />
Agus is being deliberately provocative with this statement, of course, in<br />
an effort to focus attention on the important topic of prevention. Our<br />
guest author, Wojciech Czaja, has expanded on this, addressing healthy<br />
nutrition too, in the cover story. The result is a guide to building a<br />
healthy office.<br />
We ask ourselves a highly topical question: how can we create an optimal<br />
working environment in challenging times? The answer is simple:<br />
by providing structures! The implementation of these ideas can be<br />
complex but entirely feasible, as the story on page 8 shows.<br />
Then we call for attention to a commonly underestimated topic: room<br />
acoustics. There are solutions available from Tante Lotte Design that<br />
promise even a dual benefit!<br />
After that, we accompany Pac-Man to the Munich-based foobar Agency<br />
and make a detour to the new Booking.com campus in Amsterdam. In<br />
Munich, we discover a real boost to creativity and productivity, while in<br />
Amsterdam we see a prime example of the implementation of measures<br />
designed to promote health.<br />
On top of this, a remote junkie meets a desk potato. And finally, a<br />
motivational office chair concept is bound to bring a smile to your face.<br />
Enjoy reading!<br />
