If you have an office job, sitting at your desk is the activity you will spend most of your life on – even more than sleeping. Yet sitting too much can affect your metabolism, posture and joint health and lead to pain in your neck, wrists, lower back and shoulders. Sit poorly, and these problems are intensified. That’s why it is so important to know how to adopt a good posture while sitting at work. Attain the ideal sitting posture by:
???? keeping your back straight;
???? keeping your shoulders relaxed and back;
???? placing your elbows so that they form an angle of 90-100 degrees;
???? keeping your knees at a height of your hips;
???? leaving your legs relaxed, bent at about 90-100 degrees; and
???? resting your feet on the ground without crossing your legs.
Maintaining a good posture at work will not only benefit your health, but also boost your energy levels and productivity. Speak to your pharmacist for advice. At The Local Choice Pharmacies, we’re here for you!
