Life lies in sports. Although it feels comfortable to work while sitting, it is not necessarily good for health. According to the report of the World Health Organization, more than 2 million people die each year from sitting still for a long time; It is estimated that by 2020, 70% of global diseases will be caused by sitting too long and lack of exercise. With the advent of the knowledge economy, the number of mental workers is significantly higher than that of manual workers, and the number of people who sit and work is also higher than before. According to statistics, the white-collar class in the United States accounts for 59% of the workforce, while the blue-collar class only accounts for 29%. Life lies in sports. Although it feels comfortable to work while sitting, it is not necessarily good for health.
A busy white-collar usually spends 24 hours in this way: 8 to 10 hours sitting in front of the computer, 2 hours sitting on the sofa watching TV, 3 hours sitting in various social occasions drinking and crisscrossing... After a day, most of the time is sitting. In this regard, experts believe that sedentary will affect male sexual function. Even when sitting, the temperature, hardness, etc. of the seat are also exquisite.
Moderate hardness and softness
Too hard bench will increase the degree of pelvic organs being squeezed. Over time, it will cause pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, prostate congestion, and then prostatitis. Therefore, men who often ride bicycles should adjust the height of seats and use cushions to reduce the hardness of seats to avoid prostate pressure. Too soft sofa will make the whole hip of men sink in, which also increases the squeezing force; Moreover, the scrotum is surrounded and compressed, and the temperature cannot be adjusted normally, so that the temperature of the testicle rises and the reproductive function is affected. So if the sofa at home is too soft, it is better to put on a slightly hard cushion.
Moderate heat and cold
The prostate is very sensitive to temperature. Cold stimulation can cause pelvic floor muscle spasm and induce prostatitis. On the other hand, the testicles are afraid of heat. When the temperature is higher than 35 ℃, the sperm quality will be reduced, which will affect human reproductive function. Therefore, when men walk and exercise outdoors in winter, it is best to take a cushion with them, and do not sit directly on the cold bench when tired. In addition, men should also go to sauna and shower rooms, which are hot places.
Better sitting posture requires more exercise
Medical experts suggest that if you have to sit for a long time due to work needs, you should first maintain the correct sitting posture, that is, the upper body should be vertical as a straight line, the hardness of the seat should be moderate, the thigh should be placed close to the horizontal, and the sole plate should be placed flat. Secondly, don't sit for more than 4 hours at a time. You can take the opportunity of faxing and copying documents to walk around. You should have an activity of about 10 minutes every 2 hours; It is better to exercise the neck, waist and legs to avoid the above diseases.
If you can't do this, you can also do the simplest seat aerobics: first, turn your head five times in clockwise and counterclockwise directions; Then stretch the head and shoulder back as far as possible. After several times, pull your arms alternately, up, down, left and right several times, then lean back, bend down and touch the ground as much as possible, and finally tap your head with your fingertips. For people working in office buildings, climbing stairs is the most convenient exercise; Fast walking and jogging are also effective fitness methods. In fact, it is not difficult to maintain the exercise required for physical health. It is important to always have the awareness of "exercise for health" in mind.
