The dangers of sitting for a long time! Can it cause muscle atrophy?

The National Day holiday has passed, which means that all legal holidays in 2016 have passed. Isn 't it a little sad? Many people have changed from women/men like the wind to quiet beautiful women/men in the office. However, it is also uncomfortable to stick your butt to the table all day long, and it can hurt your body if you sit for a long time! What? Does it hurt if I don't move?

Hazards of sitting for a long time:

1. Sitting for a long time hurts the bones

When sitting for a long time, the neck, shoulders and back continue to maintain a fixed posture, and the intervertebral discs and interspinous ligaments are in a tense and stalemate state for a long time, which will lead to stiffness, soreness and pain in the neck, shoulders and back, or difficulty in pitching and turning. In particular, improper sitting posture (such as the spine continues to bend forward) can also easily accelerate the formation of humpback and lead to bone hyperplasia. Due to long-term weight bearing on the pelvis and sacroiliac joints, it will affect the blood circulation of the abdomen and lower limbs. It can also easily induce constipation, hemorrhoids, and joint degradation. It can also lead to numbness of the lower limbs, causing symptoms such as varicose veins in the lower limbs.

If you sit for a long time, you will find that simply stretching will hurt! That's your bones protesting against you.

2. Sitting for a long time will cause muscle atrophy

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sitting for a long time can cause spleen deficiency or excessive spleen moisture, making people prone to muscle relaxation and edema. At the same time, long-term sitting can easily cause muscle rigidity, limb pain or numbness in the elderly, and even cause muscle atrophy. The result is accelerated aging and reduced quality of life.

Do this to resist the harm caused by sitting for a long time!

Drink enough water every day.

Don't work without hearing about the world. It is very important to maintain sufficient water. Drinking more water can help the body's metabolism, effectively expel accumulated toxins, and maintain brain activity. If you think the plain water is too bland, you can also make some tea bags in the office. The aroma of tea is overflowing, which is refreshing and refreshing.

2. Move around more after meals.

Don't sit down or take a lunch break immediately after lunch. Walking around the office a few times or standing and chatting with colleagues can not only help digestion of food, but also enhance the relationship between colleagues.

3. Tighten your hips.

Some women who want a firm buttocks will do squat or plate support, but doing more actions to tighten the buttocks in daily life can also keep our buttocks from being flat. When sending and receiving email, when you click the send button, tighten your hips and hold on for five seconds, then relax for five seconds, and repeat four times. Soon you will find that with the email sent, your buttocks slowly regain their natural tightness.

4. Quietly do leg lifting exercises.

Although you are sitting quietly in the office and working, you can also make some small moves under your feet. Sit straight with your feet flat on the floor. Push hard on one leg so it is parallel to the ground, relax that foot, and hold on for five seconds. Lower it slowly and repeat with the other leg. Doing a few sets a day is enough to give you firmer and more attractive legs.

Remember, never give yourself an excuse to be lazy. Even if you are an overtime maniac, you should give yourself enough time to replenish moisture and quietly exercise. Of course, you should take time to catch up on sleep and try to avoid being separated from the chair all day!
