Like many people, you may have a job that involves sitting for long hours.
According to a 2015 study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, more than half of the average person’s waking hours are spent sitting, which can be due to watching television, working at a computer, commuting and so on. But prolonged sedentary time due to sitting is independently associated with deleterious health outcomes regardless of physical activity.
Too much sitting can contribute to discomfort and health issues, including neck and shoulder pain, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders, lower back pain and even carpal tunnel.
Long periods of sitting also increase the risk for diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. A sedentary lifestyle also increases anxiety and stress levels.
The worst part is that if you do not take steps to decrease your sitting time and move your body, you may end up with a health condition that you’ll have for the rest of your life.
To protect yourself from the health hazards of sitting for long hours at home or the office, start practicing yoga. Millions of people practice yoga daily and benefit from many different yoga poses.
