IMPORTANCE OF POSTURE & DURATION WHILE SITTING :
" Health Capsule". It is just a peecautionaty advice for people who have been performing their duties on the desks non stop for more than 3 hours. It is definitely important to sit 6 hours and more on the chair in front of the Table. But just follow some simple ,methods to break the monotony as well as physical strain.There are lot of opportunities to get up from the chair hour or hour and half to break the monotony , some easy one:
* If an executive can pass on the papers , instructions to sub ordinates by walking up to their seat . This is becoming popular in some Organisations , unlike in the Nationalized Banks and Government offices.
* Even otherwise , get up when there is a slight feeling of strain or pain , particularly pain in the hip region may be to take a deep breath, twist the body and stretch mildly not to attract the attention of others. Or visit the rest room to do the hair , powder . Many offices have the coffee room separate . Take a walk instead of getting it served on the table.
* The ones on the computer particularly have to observe some methods definitely to save their Spine, Back, neck bones to avoid complications in later life that may be crippling. When we use the Mouse in one hand , the other hand comes to the rescue by leaning on the table . That twist will hurt the back and will be debilitating when we persist . There we can learn to be ambidextrous . That is use right hand for some time then switch to the other hand. It is not difficult , I learnt at 70 . May be a bit slow , but I have said goodbye to Back pain.
* Elders like me can do small chores like helping ourselves for coffee, tea and also go a step ahead by rinsing the cups and so on to stay independent .
During flights over 15 hours duration , we do see passengers walking up and down the ail or limbering at the end , to avoid any strain that may become a problem for a few days.
ALL THAT WE HAVE TO DO IS GET UP FROM THE SEAT AFTER AN HOUR AND HALF . TWIST THE BODY LET AND RIGHT , BEND DOWN SIDEWAYS RISE UP . ROTATE SHOULDERS AN SO ON .
Add Life to years & live strong and Independent more
