“Change Happens One Step at a Time”
Stairs or elevator?
If you think you don’t have time to take the stairs, think again.
If you think you don’t have time to take the stairs, think again.
According to a study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, those who take the stairs actually save time out of their days, when compared with those who ride the elevator. This makes sense, because while elevator goers are waiting for a lift, those who opt for the stairs are already well on their way to their destination. Do you know that climbing the stairs is good for your happiness? When you climb a flight, your body releases chemical endorphins, a type of neurotransmitter, making you feel happy and calm. It's not only good for health but it will make you feel more focused and concentrated in achieving your goals. |
