We take some things for granted in life. Take breathing for instance. It is
most vital function that keeps us alive; in fact, it is sign that we are alive! Yet, breathing happens so automatically that we rarely are 'aware' of it, until we come across an article like this that reminds us that breathing right way is important for good health. Let us discuss another human activity that you are involved in 90% of our waking time and yet know so little about - sitting. You sit at breakfast table, in car, and then again at work in our office chairs. You come back in evening to sit or slouch before TV. With so much of sitting around, it is quite right to make sure that we are sitting right!
Office Chairs - Looks Alone Are Not Enough
Work has changed over years so that most careers nowadays do not involve too much moving around or actual physical exercise. Most of work is done at a desk, in front of computer. An incorrect sitting posture or a wrong office chair can be harmful for your health.
It can cause pain or injury to back, neck and legs. It can also cause diseases such as spondylitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. All these are usually termed as non- accidental injury at workplace because they are caused by normal and routine activities done as part of job. The most important thing that you should do to prevent such injury is to be aware of how you sit and correct your sitting posture. A good office chair can go a long way in helping you to sit right.
