Is Your Job Causing Long-term Health Problems..?
Dear Reader,
Studies suggest that sitting for hours at a time; in your car, at your desk, in front of the TV or computer can be trouble, no matter how many calories you take in or how active you might be at other times. Researchers have linked too much sitting with back pain, repetitive stress injuries, obesity as well as an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Those who have sedentary jobs tend to have larger waistlines and higher blood pressure and blood sugar than those who don't sit as part of their job.
Sitting for long periods appears to encourage the body to do things that are bad for you. It can flatten out the curve of the lower back, as well as adding strain to the upper body, shoulders and arms. It can also cause your blood to move more slowly and may pool in the larger veins of your legs, where clots can form.
Experts also believe that immobile muscles slowly lose the ability of metabolize fats and sugars. This encourages high cholesterol and ups your diabetes risk. Sedentary jobs up the chances of developing cardiovascular disease and have also been linked to a greater risk of metabolic syndrome.
Today ergonomic disorders like carpal tunnel are the fastest growing category of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) recorded injuries and illnesses. These are the well-known hazards of desk jobs, like carpal tunnel syndrome (the most common type of nerve damage) that come from repetitive actions.
Lower back pain comes from the slouching most of us do as we sit, which compresses the stomach muscles and hunches the back, hardly a natural body position... hence the pain. Eyestrain is also a well-known problem for those who spend hours squinting at the screen, causing conditions like nearsightedness.
Since giving up your job is hardly a practical choice, what can you do to reduce the impact of hours in your chair (or your car)?
- Take regular breaks during the day to stretch and walk around. Just five to ten minutes per hour is enough.
- Practice good posture, keeping your head up, breathing from your belly and having your keyboard and mouse within easy reach. Stop cradling the phone and be sure your feet are placed firmly on the ground as you sit.
- Work also on your flexibility while sitting - cross a leg, do a spinal twist, stretch your calves or stand up - all are simple actions you can do during the day, while still working and being productive.

Is Your Job Causing Long-term Health Problems..? Continued...
- Consider nontraditional work set ups - things like sit-stand
stools or balance balls you can use at your desk. A Walkstation (low speed treadmill
with a desk attached) may be an option for you.
- Talk to your employer about ergonomic programs they may already
have in place to make your workspace more comfortable. Look at both your chair
and computer monitor as ripe for adjustments if you're having trouble.
So, if your job requires you to be seated more than you think is good for you,
give some of these suggestions a try. And while workouts didn't have an effect
on the risks of sitting all day bring, staying active does help. It increases
flexibility and is better than simply going home to sit some more.
You may also find that more and more employers are willing to embrace the idea
of a healthy workplace, seeing the investment pay off in increased productivity,
improved staff retention, less absenteeism and reductions in the overall costs
of insurance and other benefits. A rare moment when everyone wins.
To your good health,
