Most people spend a larger part of the day, sitting, and are exposed to many health conditions and an increased death risk. This, however, doesn’t only apply solely to inactive people but active ones as well. If you could cut your sedimentary hours by half on a consistent basis, you will naturally reduce your risk of death. You can escape sitting risks by the following tips:
1. Awareness
This is the first and most important thing to take note of. You should be aware of how much time you spend on your seat through the day.
2. Introduce a standing habit
Not everything should be done on seat. Spare out some time to stand. You can stand while taking calls, watching TV, eating some snacks and etc.
3. Exercise
Exercise is just one of the many ways to reduce the effects of sitting and not a 100% preventive method like many people seem to think. Try to work out for at least 30 minutes in a day.
4. Get a standing desk
If you are someone who works at a desk all day, it’s advisable to get a standing desk in order to get your work done without having to sit for longer hours.
5. Avoid short-cuts
Sometimes, while walking, it’s advisable to take longer routes when you can. It will help to keep you on your toes.
6. Drink water
Drinking enough water helps to stabilize your health in a number of ways. Endeavor to drink up to 8 glasses of water daily.
Sitting is a perfectly normal thing to do, and in itself it isn’t harmful at all. Things only begin to go wrong when it’s done in excess, so be sure to take a break from sitting, as much as possible.
