For the first time, "Health Week " was organized in our company. Every employee of our company received a mix of fruits and were able to participate in practical classes on healthy nutrition, nutritional prevention and exercise, improving the functioning of our body in the modern world.

As part of the "Health Week" practical activities were presented:

1. Ergonomics and safe work. As part of these classes, employees got acknowledged with the structure and functions of the spine. They learned how to properly lift weights, how to improve their workplace so as not to cause unnecessary load on the skeletal system.
    
2. Preparation of healthy and tasty cocktails. Employees attended practical classes enabling the preparation of fruit cocktails with the addition of herbs that have a beneficial effect on the functioning of our body.
    
3. Technical innovations and computer software in monitoring basic life functions. As part of these classes, employees were given the opportunity to perform tests such as: EKG, saturation, body temperature, and blood pressure and got acknowledged with technical innovations enabling monitoring of vital signs on applications on both a computer and a smartphone.
