No doubt, the advancements of technology have drastically simplified and improved the way we live, work, and manage our daily chores. Television, computers, cell phones etc. have made our lives easier. But all these can have potentially adverse effects on our health. Health problems like back pain, computer vision syndrome, carpel tunnel syndrome are all gifts of over-use of technology.

We live in a hectic world. Juggling a highly demanding job with the responsibilities of our personal and family life, often we are left feeling stressed and exhausted.

So often they end up skipping breakfast, resorting to quick over healthful meals and eating at irregular intervals.

What is the secret of staying healthy in this hectic high tech world? Join WITI South Florida as we tackle the issues of staying healthy on the go, making wise food choices, managing stress and enhancing well-being. Come and hear our speakers’ tips and advice on how to de-stress yourself and move towards the path of a healthier and happier YOU!
