How much time in a day you spend sitting?
My late grandpa used to say that the only thing better than sitting was sitting AND eating. Probably THAT combination made him my LATE grandpa.
If you are still here and reading this crap, it means that you are sitting or lying. Or LYING. Because I do not believe that you read posts on your smartphone while walking across the street. And I find smartphones good only for upvoting/commenting but not for posting, although I know that many of you wouldn't agree with me.
Many Steemit users write multiple posts every day, spend their time on the network reading what's happening, they communicate on different chat places, so I am worried about the health of my followers.
You know that you shouldn't spend in sitting position more than 2 hours in a day?
I personally don't know anyone who sits less than at least 4 hours in day. One hour of sitting is needed for all your meals in a day, you spend at least one hour every day sitting, chatting, drinking coffee and hanging out. Then transportation... You spend at least one hour every day in your car or some public transport. Some of us have desk jobs that require sitting for 8 hours. Then, an average dude from my country comes home and spends at least 2 hours SITTING on the couch, staring at the TV completely moveless like a statue emptying his brain before sleeping.
Now let's add Steemit to all this.
Steemit users usually spend between 1.5 and 16 hours every day on Steemit. We created a great sitting community with many great people sitting in front of their computers all around the world... And this community is so great that each of us has benefits of existence of others. I have benefits of you being healthy and alive on Steemit. But ironically, while you're reading this, your ass is placed comfortably in the chair (as mine is while I'm writing this), so let's list some risks for your sensitive ass:
- Risk of spine damaging
- Risk of gaining weight
- Risk of diabetes
- Risk of heart stroke
- Risk of trombosis
- .....
These are only some, but enough for you to get up and do some exercises, to stretch your back, your legs and go for a walk. Wait, upvote first... :) Thank you!
