5 THINGS THAT SITTING TOO LONG DOES TO YOUR BODY PART 1

If you spend every single working day sat at office tables, without getting up often to move around and stretch, you’re actually putting yourself at risk of many different health problems. You might be surprised at some of them; did you know that sitting too long can drastically increase your risk of heart disease?

A sedentary lifestyle is to blame for many health problems, and it’s vital that you at least remember to take your breaks, get some fresh air and exercise on those breaks and try and do some regular exercise away from work, e.g. walking, jogging, swimming, basically any type of exercise that gets your heart rate up on a regular basis. It can be as simple as taking the stairs instead of the lift, walking to work a few times per week, or simply going for a walk around the block during your lunch hour.Your office chair might be comfortable, but it’s not going to help you out health-wise if you don’t get out of it on a regular basis!Have you ever tried any active seating alternative?Prolonged periods of sitting:Increase Your Risk of Heart Disease (Cardiovascular Disease)Sitting for too long leads to an increased risk of weight gain, because you’re sedentary and therefore not burning calories or fat. In addition, when you’re sat down your overall blood flow is slower and that means that your muscles aren’t burning fat in general. For this reason, your blood vessels can easily become congested and clogged up, which can lead to heart disease over time. Your heart is also likely to be far weaker as a result of not moving around more. This is one of the biggest reasons to get up and do a little exercise, whatever that may be, during your breaks and throughout the day.And make sure you use the Office Chair Singapore of Ardent Office Furniture (AOF) Singapore.
