[Warning] LongTime Sit on Front Computers incur Many Diseases


In America the trend is currently working desk designed so that users can do the work while standing. The phenomenon took off from the publication of scientific evidence concerning health hazards sitting all day at the office.

Here are some of the results of research on the effects of sitting too long at work. :

1. In 2010, a study published in British Journal of Sports Medicine found those who sit for long periods of higher risk of contracting the disease than people who regularly make muscle movement.

2. Researchers from the American Cancer Society found even people who exercise every day, will not find any benefit for her if she spends most of his time behind a desk.

3. Researchers at the University of Missouri states sit for too long will break down fat absorbent circulation enzyme called lipase.

4. The study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology suggests sitting long (more than 6 hours per day) can increase the risk of death by 18 percent due to diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, than people who spend three hours each day to sit down.

A series of scientific evidence that it makes the company officials there to switch on the desk stand. Some even began to look at a treadmill desk so that we can walk slowly while working.

Unfortunately, experts warned that the stand all day as dangerous as sitting too long. Alan Hedge, director of the Human Factors and Ergonomics said, standing too long is not healthy because it is more tiring and increases the risk of carotid aterosklersosis (ninefold) because of the additional load on the circulatory system and increases the risk of varicose veins.

So what's the solution? Hedge suggested that the activity of sitting in the office should be interspersed with physical activity every 20 minutes.

"Do variations in physical activity at work, like walking into the office kitchen to fetch water, climbing stairs, walking around the floor, or find parking a bit away from the office. Also make sure the desk and ergonomic chairs are used," he advised.
