The more we embrace modern technologies and digital advancements in our lives, the more our health and well-being gets disturbed. The human body was never made to be seated for long hours at a stretch. But, it’s a great area of concern that almost all the white collar jobs demand continuous sitting in front of the computer. In fact, more than 80% of the office workers spend almost all their workday sitting at the desk.
In a recent study, it was found that sitting for extended periods of time increases the risk of premature death. Continuous sitting causes stress and several other health issues like eye-strain and sleeplessness. 90% of the office-workers have computer vision syndrome.
In short, continuous sitting is killing us slowly. Unless we adopt immediate measures, our whole generation is going to suffer from severe health issues. Here Global Media Insight presents some important tips to follow in your office for a better tomorrow.
