Does an office job increase your risk of DVT?

A recent study published in the Journal of The Royal Society of Medicine has concluded that people who sit at a desk in front of computers face the same threat from deep vein thrombosis as passengers on long haul flights!

Apparently, desk workers should flex their legs often and take regular screen breaks. We all know that management consultants typically working very long hours. So how do you reconcile this with the demands of a modern office where too much chattering in the kitchen is frowned upon and it’s not really acceptable to disappear outside for too long to have a quick cigarette?

Send us your tips for keeping healthy in an office. In the meantime, please excuse me while I stretch my legs to make a cup of tea!
