It’s
simple scientific fact that sitting on a chair for long periods of
time is unhealthy. Sitting relaxes the muscles and, in turn, lowers
enzyme activity in the body by up
to 95 percent. If this goes on
for hours on end, a person’s healthy cholesterol levels will drop
by at least 20 percent.
Things
can get worse if people don’t sit on ergonomically-designed office
chairs because they also run the risk of contracting back pains, a
minor debilitating condition so common that
affects eight out of ten people in the world. These chairs don’t
only emphasize comfort, but also puts great stock in spinal support
and improving posture.
According
to experts, the “best” office chairs should have at least five
chair legs for greater stability, arm rests for additional comfort,
and a flexible back rest to allow people to stretch without running
the risk of falling off. Consider these factors when you purchase
office chairs for your company.
Still,
the best way to prevent back problems and reduce the risks of obesity
is to avoid sitting for long periods of time and
stand up and walk around every 20 minutes or so. Doing so stretches
the muscles a bit and prevents them from getting numb, which
potentially
brings a number health
problems.
