Sitting for a long time has become the trigger of prostatitis. Every year, about 2 million people die of fatigue

A report released by the World Health Organization shows that 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.

First of all, let's see if you are repeating this kind of life every day: taking a bus or driving to and from work, you will not get up easily when you get to the office, and you will not be able to move again when you sit in front of the TV after work... If you have less than three sports activities a week and each activity is less than 30 minutes, you are "sedentary". Sitting for a long time will not only make your back ache and lower body fat, but also cause many diseases. Let's have a look.

Sitting for a long time becomes the "fuse" of prostatitis

Prevention: pay attention to lifestyle, avoid sedentary and alcoholism, and exercise properly. Drinking more water can dilute urine and relieve discomfort. Citrus and carrots are rich in carotenoids, which can be converted into vitamin A and can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer.

Some time ago, Xiao Wang, who is engaged in design, just took on a new project, and the workload increased sharply. He sat for 8 to 10 hours every day, not to mention taking a break in the midway. He often didn't have time to go to the toilet. Half a month later, he was finally busy, but the problem also came. For two consecutive days, he felt a little pain in urination, and always wanted to go to the bathroom. The prostate was obviously uncomfortable.

On arriving at the hospital for examination, Xiao Wang was shocked. He had prostatitis because of sitting for a long time and suffocating urine.

Prostatitis has become a common disease in young men, and frequent sitting down is a major cause of disease. From a physiological point of view, sitting can slow down blood circulation, especially in the perineum, which leads to chronic congestion and congestion in the perineum and prostate. A short time sitting is good, but over time, it will lead to accumulation of local metabolites, obstruction of the prostate gland duct, and poor excretion of gland fluid, leading to the occurrence of chronic prostatitis.

Women are prone to infertility due to sitting for a long time

Prevention: office women should get up and walk every 1 to 1.5 hours. Yoga is a good choice, beneficial to ligament relaxation and exercise pelvic floor muscles.

Among the hidden dangers of female reproduction caused by sitting for a long time, it is worth mentioning that the uterine artery blood supply is insufficient and affects normal pregnancy.

Sitting for a long time will make blood circulation blocked and venous reflux blocked, resulting in blood stasis in the lower limbs and the bottom of the pelvic cavity, and the blood supply of the uterus will become poor, resulting in ovulation and embryo development disorders. Xiong Ying, a gynaecologist at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, made an image analogy: "The female uterus is like soil. The lack of blood supply is equivalent to poor irrigation, poor soil tolerance, poor crop growth, and even cause fetal arrest."

Prone to "economy class syndrome"

Prevention: young people who sit in front of the computer for a long time need to drink more water, dilute the blood to prevent the formation of small thrombus, and promote the thrombus to fall off and swim away. At the same time, bend and stretch your toes and ankles at least every two hours, stand and walk for about 15 minutes to prevent the muscle pump from striking.

There is a disease called "economy class syndrome", which is actually pulmonary embolism. If a person sits still in a narrow space for a long time and forms blood clots in the deep veins of the lower leg, such as blood clots falling off, reaching the lungs along the blood flow, and forming embolism in the lungs, that is, pulmonary embolism, may cause sudden death. Don't think that "economy class syndrome" only attacks people who fly. Experts said that as long as you keep a sitting posture, keep your legs bent, and do not move for more than 4 hours, the risk of deep venous thromboembolism will increase significantly.

It should be noted that the number of young computer users suffering from "economy class syndrome" has increased significantly in recent years. "At the earliest stage, the leg may be sore and swollen, and at the later stage, the chest will be gradually stuffy, and serious pulmonary embolism will be fatal."

Hemorrhoids entangle the upper body

Prevention: office workers should pay attention to proper change of body position, avoid long standing and sitting, and focus on lower limb movement to improve blood circulation. Eat coarse fiber foods such as cereals, vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and fried foods.

Hemorrhoids "prefer" people who sit in the office, and the problem is that they are sedentary. This is because if you keep sitting for a long time, especially when you sit on a soft seat, the abdominal blood flow speed will slow down, the venous blood flow of the lower limbs will be poor, and the blood circulation will be blocked, which will lead to the expansion and congestion of the rectal vein, the degeneration and degeneration of the support and fixation tissues above and around the anal pad, and the loss of support and fixation efficiency, and the anal pad will move down to the anal canal, forming hemorrhoids.

Periarthritis of shoulder

Prevention: Dr. Zhang Yuequan, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Traditional Chinese Medicine, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, suggested that the simple and practical method is "move and walk". Moving is moving your head, walking is walking, and receiving water and stretching are useful.

The formation of scapulohumeral periarthritis is inseparable from the sitting posture. When we sit in front of the computer and operate, we often unconsciously close to the computer. If you jump out and look back at yourself at this time, you will find that you bow your back, shrug your shoulders, stretch your neck, half open your mouth, and stare at the computer. Only when I got off work did I find that my shoulder and neck were sore and stiff, and I could not move.

People who have been sitting for a long time should exercise more often, but they can also do some simple actions in the office. Straighten your body, take a deep breath, and straighten your waist and stomach. Hold this position for 2 to 3 seconds and repeat it for 4 to 8 times. This action can strengthen the waist and abdominal muscles and prevent back pain. Push back on both shoulders to tighten the back muscles and close the shoulder blades. Hold this position for 4 to 6 seconds and repeat it for 4 to 8 times.
