When a person is in a motionless state for more than three hours, it is harmful to his health.
This was stated by Dr. Vanessa Prince in a conversation with representatives of the publication “ Gazeta.Ru ”.
She explained that in this case, blood flow is disrupted and blood vessels are pinched.
This results in lymphatic edema and leg congestion.
These are not all the disadvantages.
It is important to take into account that there is a great load on the cardiovascular system, cholesterol levels increase, and weight problems may begin.
The doctor noted that a person who is forced to sit in the office for a long time should periodically get up and do a warm-up for 20-30 minutes. This could be a regular walk.
It is better to choose alternating work, sitting and standing.
In this case, calories are burned and discomfort is reduced.
At the same time, Prince added in a conversation with journalists that one should start with 40 minutes a day, and then gradually increase the interval to 2 hours standing.
