Sitting is a very important part of our daily lives, and it's something we're doing much more often than we used to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, sitting can have negative effects on your posture<\/a>, especially if you're not careful about your sitting position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This article will help you understand the importance of proper posture<\/a> while sitting and what you can do to prevent any damages caused by bad habits while working at a desk or in front of the computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n While sitting in a bad position can cause neck and back pain, sitting in a good position<\/a> can reduce pain. Proper posture<\/a> helps you avoid injury, muscle strain, and other problems caused by poor sitting posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n Headaches are the most common symptom of bad sitting posture<\/a>. They can be caused by poor circulation, muscle tension and poor breathing. The head sits forward<\/a> of the rest of your body and strains to support itself in this position. Poor posture<\/a> causes a restriction in blood flow to the brain and can also put stress on other parts of the body like your neck or back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Headaches may also be related to ergonomics; if you sit at work all day long, there might not always be an opportunity to change positions frequently enough to avoid them entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that happens when the median nerve in your wrist is compressed or pinched. This can cause pain, numbness and tingling in your hand, fingers and thumb. Carpal tunnel syndrome most often affects people who work with their hands for long periods of time\u2014like carpenters and musicians\u2014but it can also happen if you sit with awkward postures<\/a> that put pressure on your wrists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s important to know whether or not you have carpal tunnel syndrome so you can get proper treatment for the problem as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment includes medication, surgery and changing how you use your hands (such as stretching exercises). You can also prevent the condition from happening by moving around more at work and taking frequent breaks from typing or other activities where you hold items such as pens or pencils with a flexed wrist posture for extended periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re sitting, it\u2019s likely that your digestive system will be affected by the way you sit. Your body needs to be in motion and moving through various positions throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we don't move as much, our bodies start to get lazy and stop working as well as they should. This can cause digestive issues like heartburn and reflux, which are common problems among those who spend too much time sitting down at work or at home<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sitting for long periods of time can cause mood changes. It's even possible to experience depression as a result of sitting improperly, since your body will be in a state that's not natural. If you're constantly slouching, you're likely to feel fatigue and lack of concentration. These are signs that you should find ways to improve your posture<\/a> and sit with good form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes down to it, sitting is an act that requires constant attention and care\u2014but if we don't pay attention, we'll suffer the consequences: poor mental health and constant pain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may have heard the term “computer vision syndrome” before. It's a common condition that occurs when you spend long hours looking at a computer screen, resulting in fatigue and headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Symptoms of this syndrome include dry eyes, blurred vision, eye strain and even headaches. The problem is caused<\/a> by the strain of looking at a computer screen for extended periods of time which can cause your eyes to become fatigued and lose focus. It's important to take breaks from your work so that your eyes don't get too tired or strained while using them on the computer screen all day long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to causing back pain<\/a> and headaches, poor posture can also lead to breathing problems. Because the body is designed to move while sitting, slouching or hunching forward will cause<\/a> your lungs and chest cavity to compress, making it harder for you to breathe. This can result in shortness of breath, wheezing and difficulty coughing or clearing your throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNeck and back pain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
