Sit Smart:

How Your Posture Impacts Your Health

Sitting for long periods can lead to several health problems. When we sit for too long, our bodies don’t use as much energy, which can cause muscle and joint issues. Bad posture while sitting can lead to back, neck, and shoulder pain, along with weakness and tightness in the hips and upper back.

Sitting too much can also increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and mental health issues. Not just sitting at a desk, but also sitting while traveling or relaxing after work can add up. To stay healthy, it’s important to change your posture often and avoid sitting for too long.
