What happens to the body if you sit 12 hours a day

Every man, after working daily for 8-10 hours, wants nothing more than to collapse on the sofa, open a can of beer or soda, Yes to forget.

The paradox is that the work many of us sit still fingering the paper or staring at the screen, and when we come home, then begin again to sit. It turns out that we are in a sitting position for more than 12 hours — much more than wants our body.

You say, "Man is created in order to sit — so we arranged". But this is not true. Evolution is not expected that you will spend most of his time on the chair. She did not imagine that there is such a thing as a chair. She made us to nature where we need to be in constant motion to survive.

There is therefore nothing strange in the fact that our health and light with each passing hour spent in a sitting position.

I think that we are exaggerating? No. Any static position eventually leads to painful sensations, because the body is not primed, it cannot be at rest for a long time. Seat leads to bone and muscle degeneration, heart disease, obesity, diabetes and overall General soreness.

If you're not convinced by our words, we will start to talk about the facts.

 

Problems with blood circulation

Our body is designed to move, not sit. The anatomical structure of this fact fully proves. In our body a huge number of joints, skeletal muscles. Our species was able to stand on his feet, has got elastic skin and a host of other Goodies that allow you to move as freely as possible.

I remember moments when my calves felt a unpleasant burning sensation or cramping? This is a consequence of the fact that your blood has accumulated in the veins due to sedentary lifestyle, buddy. You really need to say why this is bad? Well, let's say — a stroke.

 Depletion of musclesWhat is the laziest part of the body while sitting? Glutes, and calves, of course. They do nothing but cause the body to slowly wither.

Lucky for you, you can minimize the damage of sitting at a Desk. You only need that sometimes to get up from the chair or chair to stretch my legs. So, you can prevent harmful consequences, even though if you don't want muscles completely atrophied, it is better to sign up in the hall.

A predisposition to obesity

It would seem that it's obvious, but it's not even the lack of exercise, and a special enzyme that works worse if you linger in one place for long hours. This enzyme called the known as lipoprotein lipase — it is on the walls of our blood vessels and is responsible for the breakdown of fats that move through our blood.

When you sit for a long time, the processing of fat in the blood vessels is much slower, which leads to obesity. And we haven't begun to talk about the fact that the rate of burning calories in a sitting position down to 1 per minute, which is very little for you to no longer be so fat.

 Nerve cell

You may feel that you to sit easily and pleasantly, but for your nerve cells the whole process is reminiscent of torture, because unnatural posture provokes a pinched nerve, which can lead to pain throughout the body.

Cramps are inevitable, if you sit in one position long enough. Most often we feel their in the shoulders, lower back and neck.

You also deprive your body of all evolutionary advantages — the blood circulation is disrupted, causing nerve cells do not get the required amount of energy that they need.

 

Problems with the spine

They are huge, because none of us really do not know how to sit correctly. Most often we vygeboom the back and the shoulders tilt forward. It turns a kind of unnatural arc of the spine, which leads to deterioration of the intervertebral discs, the degradation of the vertebral ligaments and joints, and constant tension of the muscles that help us to keep the spine in an inclined state.

And this is only part of the problem, because when you're sitting at the table wrong (and you always do), then you have over time, decreases volume of thorax, which automatically limits the amount of oxygen that enters the blood. In the end, you feel weak, breathing becomes heavier, and the brain starts to work worse, because oxygen was less. And Yes, it's all because of poor posture.

On top of that because of this high risk of developing chronic diseases in the lower back. The vertebrae are mixed down, a lot of pressure on each other, begin to crumble. Given that the area of the back mass of nerve endings, you can get a monstrous portion of pain.

But there is good news. If you adjust your position every 15-30 minutes, to prevent displacement of lumbar discs, it will make you feel much better. This must be done several times per hour. Can just walk around the office to make coffee or to go outside to get some fresh air. If you have to work hard with discipline, you can do a little workout right at your Desk is better than nothing.

 

The struggle with his nature

You're an animal, but do not take offense to that title. It just so happened that all living beings are essentially animals. Each of the creatures evolution has coded message that tells them how to live, how to move, how to behave when in danger.

People more than others distanced himself from this message when I started to play civilization, but it is still subject to primitive instincts — they are in our blood.

Now, nature gave us clearly to understand that our nature is movement, not sitting behind a computer screen. We are born to move. You feel the need to move, even if you have a problem with excess weight, and you never played sports.

But your body is not just you. It wants to move in order to be able to avoid any potential danger at any time.

The primitive instinct of poorly fit with the safe space of the modern world in which we live, but it is still the engine that makes us healthier.

Pain that occur when the seat is not only a mechanical damage. It also signals that gives us our body, so we began to value it. Are you finally stand up on his feet. Push. Be kind to your body and try to sit less.published
