We have become a society of “sitters.” We sit in front of our televisions, our computers, tablets and phones, in cars, and at our desks! We sit and sit some more, day in and day out. Have you heard the saying that “Sitting is the new smoking”? Believe it or not, the way you sit can have a great impact on your health and well-being.
What can you do to avoid some of the health issues linked with sitting?
•Adjust your chair and computer monitor, so that you are sitting upright.
•Make sure your back, neck, head and eyes are all facing forward in a straight line.
•Sitting in the same position for any length of time causes fatigue. Stand up periodically to walk, stretch your legs, and give yourself a break!
