Sitting Too Long Is Dangerous. 3 Tips to fix it.

Sitting Too Long Is Dangerous. 3 Tips to fix it.

You're the type to sit in front of your computer screen all daytime ?

Wow, you really need my health advice.

Most modern jobs require you to stay stuck in front of your desk for seven or eight hours in a row, on an uncomfortable chair and surrounded by idiot colleagues...

For colleagues and the office, I can't help you, but for the chair, I may have some advice for you.

Yes, because the longer you sit in a day, the more your health is damaged. Increase in plasma triglycerides (fat molecules), cholesterol, risk of prostate cancer, reduction in bone mass...

However, it is very easy to preserve yourself, by respecting a few simple daily actions:

1. Get up at least once per hour

It's not hard, just use an alarm clock (if you don't have one, you can use an online alarm clock) and presto, every time it rings, you get up for a minute to stretch your legs the legs!

This way, you avoid your body resting too much on its laurels and you break the sluggish rhythm of the day. In addition, it is good for blood circulation.

2. Walk at Least 30 Minutes a Day

Everyone knows it but few people apply it. Our body needs to burn calories and by remaining in a seated position, we burn them two thirds less quickly.

The technique known to all:do all or part of the round trip home-work on foot or at least by bike. Guaranteed effect!

But if making this journey on foot is not possible, you can also have your daily thirty-minute walk even while staying at the office .

For example, by going to talk to colleagues rather than sending them e-mails, by consulting their files standing up, by parking their car at the back of the parking lot, etc...

This way you exercise without even thinking about it.

3. Getting Up During Pubs

In addition to sitting all day at work, an overwhelming majority of French people adopt the slouched position when they arrive at home.

However, ads are useless, do we agree? Well, well, during the commercials, we get up, we stretch, we go and drink a glass of water:once again, this is about reminding your body that it has a motor function and that he can (occasionally) use it.

Well, I hope these three tips can help you. In the meantime, leave me a comment telling me how you manage to not sit all day.
