Sitting is killing us

We do more sitting everyday than we do sleeping?

In fact on average it’s 9.3 hours of sitting and 7.7 hours of sleeping

Lack of physical movement is related to increased waist size, cancers and type 2 diabetes.

MOVEMENT is the answer. Your brain literally benefits from the physical movement pumping cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) around the nervous system. Feel good natural chemicals are also released like dopamine and endorphins.

You do not have to train for a marathon either.

Combat your sitting with things like:

1. Taking the stairs instead of the lift or escalator
2. Getting off a few bus/train stops before home
3. Walking out to get lunch at work
4. Setting reminders to stretch and change position at work. Visit the toilet or make some tea.
5. Invest in a standing desk

Walking meetings are an interesting option. You can actually ‘think out the box’. You get your creative juices flowing. As is explained in this 3 minute video click here

Your posture can also affect how your CSF flows through your system. We are posture crazy at Spirohealth. We restore normal curves in your spine so you find movement easier and even ‘sit better’. We have free spinal health seminars available to you. You discover what chairs, shoes, beds and pillows are best. Check them out here
