This article/video was about the importance of good posture, how bad posture can be awful for your health and good precautions to lead to a healthy life of desk work. As of the recent years, most people who work do it mostly by sitting down. Even at home we are mostly sitting when we watch tv, play video games or write mundane blog assignments. This can be detrimental to your health and it has been shown that people with sitting jobs have twice the chance to get cardiovascular disease than sitting workers.Even if you spend a lot of time doing physical stuff outside of work, sitting and working is far worse than that is better. Keeping up with your posture is the best way to prevent your back from snapping into two. It's important to sit in an upright position if you are in an inactive chair. Make sure you don't cross your legs. Leaning to far forward and backward can also be bad for you, so again sitting up straight is best. Rocking back and forth in your chair helps not only your back, but your ability to concentration as well. Even just two hours of active sitting can help you burn calories. You should interrupt your sitting at least once every thirty minutes. Doing some simple lunges with this can help you a lot.
This article is helpful but I don't think is as big a problem as its making out. But if all of this is true than I think we should follow it's advice! Lets all of us rock and forth back in our chairs to improve our posture. The chairs will make a annoying sound sure but that's just the sound of us burning calories! This way we can show Ms. Licata that we are actively showing our improved posture.
