1.
Most
of us sit too much. The average person sits more than 8 hours per day. Many
office workers sit as much as 15 hours per day. Think about all the sitting in
your typical day; sit at breakfast, sit on your way to work, sit at work, sit
on your way home from work, sit for dinner, and then sit to watch TV or surf
the internet.
2.
Sitting
puts your metabolism to sleep. 60 to 90 minutes of inactivity (like sitting) is
enough to shut down the enzymes responsible for producing High-density lipoprotein -HDL- the
good cholesterol, and for regulating blood sugar. Chronic inactivity is now
thought to contribute to diabetes epidemic.
3.
Sitting
is harder on your back than standing. Sitting tenses the hamstrings and causes
a flattening of normal curve in the low back. This distortion of the spine
increases the internal strain of the back. Sitting upright or sitting in a
forward bent position is particularly hard on the back.
4.
Sitting
with an open hip angle of greater than 90° reduces back tension. Sitting in a
reclined posture, thighs-declined, or even slouched back against the back
cushion can reduce tension in the spine. This reduces the hamstring tension and
shifts some of the upper body weight onto the back cushion.
5.
Sitting
provides more stability and control for detailed work as opposed to many types
of stand-up work. Sitting is easier on the Musculo-skeletal system (except as
noted above in number 3).
6.
An
hour of daily exercise won't counteract the negative health effects of sitting.
Running, Walking, Biking and other types of exercise are great for improving
fitness, but they don't counteract the negative health effects of prolonged
sitting. Exercisers who sit most of the day are known as active couch potatoes.
7.
You
need to stand and move each hour or more to maintain health. Sitting puts your
metabolism to sleep. Movement like standing, walking, and other leg-muscle
activity stimulates your metabolism and restarts your body.
8.
Adjust
your chair for comfort, support, and movement. You chair should fit you and
your physique, and it should allow for a variety of postures and movement.
Adjust the back rest cushion up/ down to fit the curve of your low back, adjust
the seat height for a comfortable leg support, and set the backrest to allow
supported relining and movement back and forth. While seated you should fidget,
squirm, contract/relax your muscles, and flex/extend your legs. Remember
movement is good; sitting still for long periods are bad.
9.
Your
best posture is your next posture. There is no single best ergonomic posture.
Most experts recommend a variety of positions and postures including these four
reference postures; upright supported, reclined seated, thighs declined,
standing.
10. Don’t sit if you can stand, don't
stand if you can walk. Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin both knew that standing
for work was a good thing; both of these great Americans had stand up
workstations.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
