Vitality is more essential than ever before. Our days are filled with stimuli all day, causing plenty of health issues. Last week we participated in the National Week of Vitality at FoodInsights and it got us thinking. As a boss the core activity that will increase vitality is to decrease stress, providing smoothies and opportunities to move are awesome too of course.
