A colleague once said to me, “How strange! When I changed out my clothes for the season, even though I didn’t gain any weight, I could hardly zip up my pants.” It turned out that he had just gotten flabby. Sitting for a long time will result in a flabby lower belly, “elephant legs,” and big buttocks. Three exercises and acupoint massage can help prevent your lower body from getting flabby.
Prolonged Sitting in a Soft Chair Can Worsen Health
Sitting for a long time is harmful to your health, what I call “sickness from sitting.” Office workers, especially the executives, are so used to sitting on comfortable chairs in the office that are so soft that they sink into the chairs. However, such softness will make the body bend excessively, adversely affecting the internal organs.Many modern-day women are prone to gynecological diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and cystitis. Modern-day men often suffer from prostate diseases, such as prostatic hypertrophy and prostatitis. This may be related to poor blood circulation caused by prolonged sitting.
