Many people sit and work for two to three hours without getting up, which can lead to anorectic or lumbar and cervical diseases.
Correct sitting posture can effectively prevent and avoid the occurrence of diseases, so how to sit?
1.Would it be better to sit softer or harder?
It's better to sit softer. Sitting in a Office chair with a soft cushion is more conducive to preventing anorectal diseases, because the most common anorectal disease, hemorrhoids, is a venous congestion disease. Hard benches and chairs are more detrimental to the smooth blood circulation of the buttocks and anus, which is likely to lead to congestion and hemorrhoids.
2.Would it be better to sit warmer or cooler?
Sitting hot is not good, sitting cool is not necessarily good, it depends on the situation. A hot seat cushion does not improve blood circulation in the buttocks and anus, but instead increases the risk of anal sinus, sweating gland inflammation, and infection. Over time, it can even lead to constipation. Therefore, even in cold winter weather, do not sit on a warm seat cushion. Instead, choose a soft, normal temperature seat cushion.
In summer, the weather is hot. If the air conditioning temperature in the office is suitable and will not cause sweating, do not sit on a cool cushion as it can also cause blood stasis.
3.How long does it take to get up and move around?
Every hour of sitting, one should get up and move for 5-10 minutes, which can effectively alleviate blood stasis and smooth the meridians.
The specific steps are: get up, do several stretches of the waist, stretch the spine and limbs as much as possible, rotate the waist and sacrum in circles, breathe evenly and steadily, pace back and forth, and try to walk with the legs raised high, promoting the acceleration of blood circulation.
4.What kind of sitting posture has less pressure on the body?
Correct sitting posture is very important. The correct sitting posture should be with the back straight, feet flat on the ground, arms relaxed on the armrests of the office chair or tabletop, shoulders relaxed, and head looking forward.
In addition, the office environment also plays an important role in the correct sitting posture. You should choose comfortable office chair and tables, and adjust the height appropriately.
Sitting on a office chair of appropriate height, the knee joint should flex about 90 °, the feet can be flat on the ground, and the height of the armrests should also be the same as the height of the elbow joint, so that the arms can be placed conveniently and comfortably; If you want to lean back on the chair back, it is best to have a support cushion that conforms to the curvature of the lumbar spine at the waist position of the chair back, so that while maintaining the curvature of the lumbar spine, the pressure can be evenly distributed to the spine and buttocks through the cushion.
