The coronavirus pandemic has forced us all to move our offices into our homes. The Work From Home (WFH) model helped prevent further spread of the Covid-19 virus. But it has brought about many lifestyle changes that are harmful to our body. For example, sitting at a WFH desk for a long time and living a sedentary life. Now that things are partially open, many still work offline or have a hybrid model at work. Because of this, we are still sitting in front of laptops and phones for long periods of time.
