I know the disadvantages of sitting for a long period of time, but sometimes busy work schedule in an offfice drives me towards sitting down too much. Thanks BBC ❤

I have some tips for you. First, you stand up and stretch your body in about 20 seconds after an hour of sitting. Then, you might need to have a cup of water and take a deep breath before you're back to work

Thank you . Stagnation of blood in some organs of our body , pooling of blood in lower extremities, developing shortness and stiffness in limb muscles and developing fatigue in axial muscles , poor pastures in neck and shoulders are all disadvantages of prolonged sitting.

I'm now a freelancer and online teacher which means that I have to sit in front of the laptop over 7 hours per day. I know that this isn't healthy so I try my best to lead a more active lifestyle by falling in love with Running. Everyday when I get up, the fist important thing I do is to go running around the park for about 5 kilometers. After that, I have breakfast, go home take a cold shower and then start my life. I hope that this solution will help me have a better as well as a more active life.
