It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle at work. Indeed, these days, many workers are overwhelmed by stress, tension and performance.
If we think sport is important for our well-being at the office, it's because it allows us to switch off and relieve our stress. When we "switch off", we feel less pressure from everyday worries; our brains can finally make room for new projects that may require more concentration.
Discover the sports clubs, swimming pools and parks around the Seed Factory, where you can relax or unwind before, after or even during your working day.
