Contrast this to our time in elementary school. For that matter, sitting in those hard, wooden or metal seats and desks is exactly opposite to the ergonomic insights that chief executives understand to help them work more efficiently. As I discussed several months ago in my comments after speaking at the American Worksite Health Promotion conference, this issue is a major concern to industry and businesses.

Current research confirms that we are energized by full-spectrum light of the sun. When I was a teacher in the public school system in California, I recall being called on the carpet at the principal's office because I kept opening the curtains and turning off the fluorescent lights.

Some business owners reported that they require staff to include these in their daily diet. I haven't found compliance for that position to be universal, however.
