Regardless of the posture, as long as you maintain the same posture for a long time, it will have a great impact on your body. So long-term sitting and standing are often encountered at work, which of the two is bad for the body?
Sitting for long periods can cause heart disease
Studies have shown that there are more than 100,000 cases of the disease in the United States, which are all related to long-term sitting life, and the risk of diabetes and obesity is also high. Sitting for a long time will put a lot of pressure on the buttocks and waist and other parts. Gradually, fat will increase, and the lower limbs will become obese, which will increase the risk of heart disease. If you are sitting for a long time, it is recommended not to sit for more than 3 hours. You should stand up and move every 1 hour. It is better to stretch your waist and move your body.
Standing for long periods can cause muscle disease
Studies have shown that many salespeople in department stores suffer from muscle and foot diseases because they stand for too long. Standing for too long can cause problems such as poor blood circulation. It will also cause joints and heart blood circulation problems in the lower limbs, and it is even worse for women which will cause women to have difficulty getting pregnant. This is because gravity causes the blood to tilt downward, so the blood vessels, feet and leg muscles will be very serious. And if women wear high heels to work, it will be more difficult to stand on their feet and legs. If you need to stand for a long time, it is best to move your ankles and lift your legs up for 30 to 60 minutes every day to help blood circulation. Or else, you can massage your legs and foot after work so that your legs can relieve the tension and stiffness of standing for a long time.
In fact, sitting for a long time and standing for a long time are both not good for our health. Standing for too long can also affect the lumbar spine and leg problems, but sitting for a long time is the worst.
