Tomorrow I have to go to work again, the office I have to come back. 8 hours a day to rely on the chair, the heart of the “chair disease”! Australia’s University of Queensland study found that the harm of sitting for an hour is about the same as smoking two cigarettes, reducing life expectancy of 22 minutes. Tomorrow at work, how many hours do you sit?
Go to work 8 hours sitting, eating sitting, chatting sitting, going home to watch TV sitting …… unknowingly, you have become a sedentary people in the “senior” member. Is not often feel stiff neck, back pain, general fatigue? Then you are likely to have suffered from “chair disease”!
A, sedentary from head to foot to hurt you
1, eye disease
Sitting in front of the computer, the eyes are in a state of long-term tension and do not get rest easily lead to myopia. Eye overwork is also easy to cause glaucoma, cataracts, dry eye, corneal ulcers.
2, cervical spondylosis
At present, more and more young people suffering from cervical spondylosis, most of them are sedentary trouble. Looking down at the phone, as if hanging two large watermelon on the neck! Finance, writing work, teachers, graphic design, IT, assembly line work and other industry workers have a relatively higher probability of suffering from cervical spondylosis. Headache, dizziness, memory loss, it is painful.
3, heart disease
When sitting, the blood flow is slow, fatty acid deposits in the blood vessels, more likely to block the heart vessels. The University of South Carolina study found that, compared with people sitting less than 11 hours a week, sedentary people more than 23 hours, the chances of dying from a heart attack is 64% higher.
4, lumbar disc injury
Research shows that the human body in a sitting position, if you maintain the correct sitting posture, the pressure in the lumbar intervertebral disc is 6 times when lying down; if the sitting posture is poor, the pressure will soar to 11 times when lying down. Sitting is very likely to cause strain on the lumbar back muscles and cause lumbar disc herniation.
5, hemorrhoids
If you keep sitting for a long time, the blood flow in the abdomen will slow down, and the venous blood in the lower extremities will not be able to flow back, and the blood circulation will be hindered. In this case, the rectal plexus is prone to varicose, leading to blood stagnation and eventually the formation of a venous mass, namely hemorrhoids.
6.Lower limb thrombosis
Sitting for a long time, the muscle contraction of the legs decreases and the blood flow in the lower limbs slows down, thus increasing the chances of thrombosis. Studies have pointed out that people who sit in a fixed position for more than 3 hours a day have two times the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs than other people.
7, diabetes
Studies have found that a sedentary lifestyle can lead to a 112% increase in the risk of type 2 diabetes. Researchers analyzed that due to the lack of exercise due to sedentary, the body will have abnormal distribution of gravitational adipose tissue. Fat accumulation in the lower abdomen and waist and back, resulting in centripetal obesity, thus appearing metabolic abnormalities, inducing diabetes.
8.Cancer
German researchers found that sedentary and colon cancer, breast cancer and endometrial cancer disease risk increased. Because the number of immune cells in the human body increases with the amount of activity, sedentary will make the body lack of sufficient immune cells. In Japan, a survey on patients who underwent gastric cancer surgery also found that eating too much saturated and sitting without exercise is a common feature of them.
Second, these few tricks to help you get rid of “chair disease”
1.Standing office
Standing itself is a very good “exercise”. Standing can improve posture, relieve back pain, can accelerate blood circulation, promote cardiovascular health, but also to stimulate imagination and creativity.
2, after every hour, get up and walk
It is difficult to maintain a high degree of concentration for a long time, after working for 50 to 60 minutes to stand up and move for 5 to 10 minutes, not only to help the health, but also to effectively relieve work stress. So, remember to often pour a glass of water, go to the toilet, or climb down the stairs it.
3.Change the chair
Sit on unstable objects, such as exercise balls, or stools without backs, to force the core muscles to work. Sit up straight and put your feet flat in front of you, so that your feet can support 1/4 of your weight.
4, if you have to be sedentary
If you have to be sedentary, then try to sit in the correct sitting position. First of all, make sure to sit straight, do not lean forward; elbows bent to 90 degrees; feet flat on the ground; shoulders relaxed; arms close to the side of the body; back to have support, try to lean on the back of the chair.
