Better Sitting For Greater Health

After 7 hours in his chair, Mr. Sharma couldn’t take it anymore. His back felt as it was on fire. He slumped in front of the computer and felt close to tears. The heat pack he had applied for the chronic back pain is no longer working. The pain is slowly getting worse. Should he take medical leave? What about all the pending work? Will he get fired? Mr. Sharma felt helpless, dazed and confused.

Like Mr. Sharma, millions of people around the world feel chained to their office chair. Such people may suffer from back pain or even Sciatica.

Impact of long duration sitting

People who sit for hours at a stretch are vulnerable to the following kinds of problems:

• Increased blood pressure
• High blood sugar
• Excess body fat (especially around the waist)
• Abnormal hormone levels
• Increased risk of heart disease and cancer

Instead of suffering in silence, you can use these tips to avoid back pain and boost your health.

Sitting solutions: better health

Nowadays, many innovative chairs and chair-substitutes are available in India in various supermarkets, malls, hyper-market. The ease of availability makes it possible to experiment with various types of sitting arrangements.

1. Stand-up desk: This type of desk will allow you to work while standing. You will burn more calories and your spine will be in a neutral position. While it may feel weird at first, you will get used to it within a few days. You may also feel more productive while standing.

2. Exercise ball: With the absence of a back rest, your body makes minute adjustments to keep your spine and back straight. You will also make use of the abdominal muscles. This will help you avoid back pain while controlling belly fat. You will no longer be tempted to slump in front of your computer while working.

3. Walking desk: You can add a treadmill to a standing desk to get a proper work out while working. Research shows that being engaged in physical activity can give rise to new and different ideas. This desk is excellent for those who don’t get much time for a proper work out.

4. Kneeling chair: Sitting in this chair would allow your shins to take up some of the body weight. This will provide some comfort to the spine and the back muscles while distributing body weight more evenly.

5. Recliner: Many people who have back pain feel better while sitting in a reclined position. You can use a recliner to provide rest to your upper body while working. Just get a simple laptop stand or lap desk and say good bye to back pain!

While these innovative solutions may work for many people, you should not ignore any pain if it lasts longer than a week. Chronic pain is a signal that all is not well in your body. You should pay heed to it and visit a specialized pain clinic without delay.
