Sitting all day at work, or in today's time while working from home, can create tension in certain parts of our body. Neck, shoulders, and back tend to get stiff when we sit for too long. Furthermore, these are not all the drawbacks of sitting for a while. Some harmful effects of sitting for a long time are listed below.
Chances of developing some types of cancer including lung and colon cancer
Vulnerability to heart diseases
Increased levels of stress and anxiety
Problems with hip joint
Higher risk of diabetes
Increase in weight
To avoid these consequences, we would suggest you take a break from sitting every 30 - 45 minutes. You can go for a walk to the other room or just anything to get your body moving. You can also use this break to practice simple yoga routines to loosen up the stiff muscles. You can check the video below to get started.
