What happens to the body when you sit a lot?

Office workers can't sit in front of the computer for a long time, and they can't hold their urine often because they play video games. It is best to choose a stable computer chair, it is best not to use the one with wheels, can move casually, and has poor balance, to eliminate the tension of the body when sitting for a long time, adjust the angle of the computer screen appropriately, and do not let the neck lean too forward. The most important thing is exercise, every one or two hours of sitting, it is best to get up and do a whole body relaxation exercise, if time does not allow it, but also to shake the head appropriately, twist the waist, and play badminton more often.

Although sitting for a long time is not the direct cause of various diseases, sitting for a long time is more likely to cause adverse physical symptoms: Cervical and lumbar spondylosis: The muscles of the shoulder, neck and waist are easy to tense and become stiff due to holding one position for a long time, and affect the blood supply of the vertebral arteries to the head, causing dizziness.

When sitting for a long time, the weight of the human body will be more concentrated on the lumbosacral region, and the uneven distribution of this pressure is easy to cause low back muscle strain and pain, and in the long term, it can even lead to the elasticity of the intervertebral disc tissue and the hyperplasia of bone in the spine. Constipation and hemorrhoids: When sitting for a long time, gastrointestinal peristalsis slows down, in addition to the relative reduction of digestive juice secretion affecting digestion, it can also cause and aggravate digestive disorders such as bloating and constipation; Similarly, sitting for long periods of time can lead to long-term congestion of the venous plexus near the rectum, which can cause or worsen hemorrhoids.

Varicose veins of the lower limbs: sitting for a long time will reduce the contraction of the muscles of the lower limbs, the muscle mobility will decrease, the contractility of the blood vessels will also decrease, and the flow rate of blood will slow down or even be smooth, which can cause varicose veins of the lower limbs, and different degrees of venous protrusions can be seen on the legs, which are curved like earthworms; In severe cases, deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities can also form. Obesity:

If you are sedentary, your metabolism will naturally slow down, your body will consume less energy, and the excess calories stored in your body will be easily converted into fat, which will make you fatter and fatter over the years. The most noticeable thing is a thicker waist circumference and a significant increase in weight. Other:

If you sit for a long time and have high pressure in your abdomen, in addition to the waist can't stand it, the organs located in the abdomen will also be affected by the poor flow of qi and blood. For example, women can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis due to long-term obstruction of pelvic venous return; Men can cause urological diseases such as cystitis and prostatitis, and men who hold urine for a long time are at greater risk of developing such diseases.

Neck and back pain: Sitting in the same position for long periods of time can cause muscle tension and discomfort in the neck and back. Lack of exercise and incorrect sitting posture may increase the risk of this discomfort.

Muscle atrophy and spinal deformity: Prolonged sitting can lead to muscle weakness and atrophy. In addition, incorrect sitting posture can bend or twist the spine, increasing the risk of spine-related problems, such as herniated discs and joint pain in the spine.

Loop Collapse Problem: Prolonged sitting may cause blood circulation to slow down, especially in the lower extremity area. This can lead to an increased risk of venous congestion, edema, and thrombosis.

Metabolic problems: Prolonged sittings are associated with lower energy expenditure, which may lead to a decrease in metabolic rate, affect blood sugar control and lipid metabolism, and increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

To reduce these potential harms, the following measures are recommended:

Stand up every once in a while and do some activity, such as stretching, walking, or doing some simple exercise.

Maintain a good sitting posture with proper neck and back support, and avoid bending or slowing down the spine.

Engage in regular exercise, including aerobic exercise and strength training, to strengthen muscles and improve circulation.

To minimize the chance of sitting for long periods of time, consider using a standing desk or cushion to improve your sitting posture.

In summary, sitting for a long time can cause a variety of injuries and health problems to the body, so it is important to maintain proper exercise and sitting posture, and minimize sitting for long periods of time.

With the development of social economy and science and technology, many of people's work-sensitive communication can be completed only through computers and mobile phones, many errands can be transmitted through radio waves, many office workers' work and e-sports players' training need to sit next to the computer, often sit on the table and chair for a day, and few people stand up to move their bodies when they take occasional breaks.

If you sit for a long time and work inactively, it will cause certain injuries to the body over time and become an occupational disease. So, what are the occupational diseases of people who sit for long periods of time at work? The first may be cervical spondylosis, long-term sedentary, the body maintains the same posture, and the cervical spine does not get real-time relaxation.

The second may be lumbar spondylosis, in which the lumbar spine is compressed, causing lumbar spondylosis. Thirdly, it may cause varicose veins in the legs, and sitting still will compress the nerves in the legs, eventually leading to varicose veins.

1. People who sit for a long time to work may get cervical spondylosis.

People who work on the computer for a long time, the cervical spine has been in a state of tension, if you do not relax in time, in the long run, it will inevitably cause cervical spondylosis, and then cause headaches and other symptoms, so for people who sit and work for a long time, it is recommended to move the cervical spine once an hour, and it is appropriate to move the cervical spine for ten minutes at a time.
