Sometimes life in the modern office can be hard. People sit all day and don't do exercises for body. Being without exercises and sitting all day can affect to the health a lot. It can cost many diseases like headaches. It can come down with it. Sometimes life in the modern office doesn't seem interesting and pleasant to work. Many people doesn't enjoy working there. It has a lot of timebto work. Thanks BBC😊👍
