When you sit for 8 hours every day, you’re causing serious damage to your health. A sedentary lifestyle is actually a reason for many health issues. Spinal strain, the risk of cardiovascular diseases, the development of varicose veins, obesity and early aging are just some of the risks you are facing.
Fortunately, there are some easy tips and important steps you can take to make it better. Walking and even moving around the office as much as you can, using the stairs instead of the elevator, and taking breaks from work to do some physical exercise all help out.
