Long-term sitting can cause great harm to health, and using standing instead of sitting cannot offset the harm. Only exercise can effectively reduce long-term sitting injuries. The National Health Administration teaches you five ways of office physical activities that can be done with chairs, which is most suitable for you to move without time or in a short while.

Sitting for a long time and hurting yourself, can you turn around while standing to work?

Most modern people work in sit-in work. They work for 8 hours a day, and many people even work overtime frequently, that is, they sit for more than 8 hours a day. According to the 110-year national health visit survey by the National Health Administration, 50.7% of nationals over 18 years old have long sitting conditions (daily sitting time ≧6 hours). As for sitting for a long time, many people think of simply "going to work while standing", and even many office workers buy desks standing at work. However, according to a study published by the Journal of the American Academy of Heart Diseases (JACC) in 2019, the results have overturned everyone's idea that using stand instead of sitting cannot offset the damage. JACC believes that only dramatic exercise can effectively reduce the damage after sitting for a long time.

Physical therapist Jian Wenren also has the same opinion. Jian Wenren was reminded that he would hurt his body while standing at work, such as calm and curved hair, and his waist would continue to come to the door. Whether standing or sitting, he was most afraid of not moving for a long time, because when he kept the same posture and was not moving, his body was fixed and his blood circulation would be affected.

Only movement can offset the risk of sitting for a long time

A new study published in the British Sports Medicine Magazine in the past pointed out that the risk of death increased by 38% after sitting for more than 12 hours a day, but moderate to intense exercise for 22 minutes a day can significantly reduce the risk of death. Even if 22 minutes are not fully achieved, some moderate to intense activities can still help reduce mortality.

Therefore, we still have to exercise. Even if we cannot do more intense exercise, we must find time to get up and move. If you can't find a suitable environment for sports around you, or sometimes you can get the door to sports, in fact, a chair is a useful sports tool. The National Health Administration teaches everyone that you can do five office physical activities that can be done with chairs. Go find a stable chair and perform physical activities easily. However, remembering the activities must be appropriate and progress in sequence so as not to cause adverse effects.
