Lifestyle

What are the connections between lifestyle, genetics and health? Is it possible to exercise and eat your way to better health and are there differences between the sexes? How can we avoid stress? Smart choices can improve our wellbeing.

Research shows the way to sustainable workplaces

How do we create sustainable workplaces in Sweden – efficient, productive workplaces where workers are happy and healthy? Uppsala University and Uppsala University Hospital are conducting a major research project focusing on various labour market groups, such as health and care professionals, transport workers and migrants. The hope is to use the knowledge obtained to test different methods to improve the work environment and make it more sustainable.

Lunchtime fitness activities

The running group at the Segerstedt Building, Uppsala University, uses the weekly wellness hour to go running together. The members work in the University Administration, in IT, communications and other areas. Every Thursday, whatever the weather, they head outside and run – on this particular day on the slopes around Uppsala Castle. How far they run and where exactly is up to the participants that day. When the photo was taken, two members from SciLifeLab were also taking part.
