Everyone in modern society is. Most people sit down for long periods. It is almost impossible to avoid using computers, cars and sofas, that the norm in many peoples lives. Many people will wake up, sit down and eat breakfast, sit in the car and drive to work, sit at their desk and working at the computer all day, sit back in their car and go home and sit on the couch . fernsehen But not many people ask how this can have an adverse effect on their health and their quality of life.
There are two major ways that sitting is bad a -, is sitting in an abnormal posture, and two, if we do not share, we are moving.
What do I mean by sitting is an abnormal posture? We sit all day. How can it be abnormal?
Let's look at the design of the human body.
people have a certain biomechanical structure and specific positions is an advantage for us. For example, walking is very useful for the human body. If this is done right foot produces very little wear and tear on the joints over a large period of time.
seats, large quantities of pressures from certain areas. For example, is sitting, the pressure in the lumbar intervertebral discs of the spine increased by 50 percent and sits leaning forward increases the pressure by 170 percent! (Nachemson, 1976) Have you seen how people are sitting at their desks in the office bent, head forward? Not good.
When we sit, turn off our core muscles, and we find it hard to keep us upright. Our shoulders slump before, our head leans forward and we start to hang our belts rather than our muscles. This forward head position increases the pressure on our spine and muscles, since for every inch that we move the head forward from its ideal position, doubles the effective weight! And the head weighs about 5kg (They have a lot of heads there!). So when you sit your head just an inch forward to the muscles, ligaments and bones of the neck support under 10 kg, which means they have to work twice as hard.
No wonder that our neck and shoulder muscles are tight there towards the end of the day! Some people who work the muscles so hard that they can never relax, to chronic tension, headache leads, neck pain, shoulder pain, and the list goes on.
When we sit, we are not moving. And movement is a genetic condition for our body to be healthy. It is impossible for us to move perfectly well without him.
Research done by the British Chiropractic Association reveals that almost one third of people watch more than 75% of their life spent sitting. That's more than 10 hours per day. Resulting in more than 32 years of our life!
When we sit, we are not moving, and if we are not moving, our bodies do not produce the desired movement of nutrients they need. Think about it. How do you feel after you've spent the whole day, conservation of energy and enough to eat. Did you feel excited or watch rather go home and laze on the couch? Why should you feel tired, if you have not used much energy? It is because the body does not always provide the necessary motion and it does not work properly!
So, what can you do about it? Now there are some simple tips and techniques you can use to maximize the negative impact of this meeting to your health and minimize the effectiveness of your work day. The use for only 20 seconds to 20 minutes will make a big change, and break out of the slumped forward posture. This is known as the 20/20 rule. Make movement a part of your daily life, take the stairs instead of the elevator, park farther away and go, just remember to move!
