According to the latest research, each of us on average spends about 7.7 hours a day in a sitting position. Everyday sitting has numerous consequences for the body, and inactivity is the fourth most common cause of premature death in the world.
As the number of seating occupations grows, experts warn that action must be taken before the first woes of a long sit down are noticed.
A bumpy desk seating at the start can cause less back pain that gradually worsens. Poor posture can cause 'spinal discs to shrink, which can cause permanent problems.
Sitting in front of a computer is difficult for the spine because you keep your head bent for 30 degrees, causing a muscle tension that is three to four times greater than holding it upright.
If you don't stretch or move your legs for a long time, your muscles will start to hurt. That pain is weaker at first, but with time it gets worse.
Therefore, you should keep your feet flat against the floor while your knees are bent slightly above hip height. Do not sit cross-legged on your knees or in your joints.
Dr. Anthony Balduzi of Fit Father Project - Fitness For Busy Fathers suggests a series of stretching exercises to improve posture and combat the negative effects of sitting.
