A recent study found that over 1/3 of people who suffered blood clots spent their days sitting. Take a break at least every two hours to get up and move to lower your risk.

Other workplace hazards include travel stress, dirty desks (especially for women), poor air quality, and back and shoulder pain. Take a minute today to examine your work environment...are there any other trouble areas that have been off this list? Let us know!
