Muscle pain and rapid fatigue are 75% caused by wrong posture when sitting in front of the computer. We consulted with many specialists and they’re giving you advice on how to properly sit at work so you won’t experience health problems.
Here are the 5 ways to protect your health when sitting at work:
1. Back Pain
– Your chair must have a comfortable back with natural curve.
– The depth of your chair should match the length of your hip. If your chair is too big, use a pillow under your waist.
– Don’t rush to change the position if you feel uncomfortable. Your muscles need to get used to the correct posture. Wait for a while to become comfortable.
2. Leg Pain
– Adjust your chair. Your feet should not hang. Your legs should be slightly bent at an angle of 90°.
– Don’t cross your feet or legs. It worsens the blood flows, causes discomfort and numbness.
3. Neck Pain
– Properly position your monitor to avoid neck pain.
– Sit on a chair. Close your eyes, and relax. When you open them, the point at which the center of your screen should be located will be just before you. Your monitor should be at your eye level.
4. Tired Hands
– When you work, your hands are in constant tension. Wrong position can cause numbness and pain in your hands.
– Keyboard and mouse should be at elbow level. Keep your wrists straight.
5. Fast Fatigability
When a person leads sedentary lifestyles, eats a lot of fatty and sweet foods, cholesterol gathers in the vessels and stretches the veins. This lifestyle can cause pain, fatigue in legs and feet, swelling and high blood pressure.
– Work out at least 15 minutes a day. Eat more healthy.
