The Hidden Risks of Sitting
Sitting for long periods of time can have a detrimental impact on physical health, causing numbness and swelling in limbs, deactivating enzymes that burn fat and putting uneven pressure on the spine, among other things. To combat these effects, it is recommended to sit with a straighter spine, take breaks every half hour to stand up and stretch, and to take a walk to reduce stress and increase energy levels.
