Side effects of standing for too long: It is believed that standing is more beneficial for health than sitting for a long time. Most people believe this to be true and this is the reason why standing culture is being followed in many offices. However, now scientists have said something very shocking about this. Hearing this, people with standing work culture will be shocked. Yes, a new study has revealed that standing for a longer time than sitting can be dangerous for the body and can cause many serious problems related to blood flow.
According to the report of Xinhua News Agency Scientists from Australia’s Sydney University have said in recent research that standing for several hours every day can be dangerous for health. Doing this can increase the risk of blood related problems like varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis. Research has also said that sitting for more than 10 hours every day also increases the risk of heart and blood flow diseases. Therefore, it is important to maintain balance in both sitting and standing positions. To stay healthy, it is not enough to just avoid sitting, but it is important to do physical activity.
Researchers analyzed data from devices worn by 83,013 adults in Britain and found that standing had no health benefits compared to sitting. Mathew Ahmadi, lead author of the study, says that standing for too long will not bring any improvement in lifestyle and it can be risky for some people in terms of blood flow. Studies have shown that standing for long periods of time does not improve heart health in the long run. Researchers have recommended that people who regularly sit or stand for long periods of time should take a walk for a few minutes in between.
Experts have suggested that people who sit or stand for long periods of time should also do walking regularly. Walking will improve blood flow in the body and heart health can improve. Walking is a simple and effective way for anyone to improve their health. Earlier, a study had shown that doing 6 minutes of intense workout or 30 minutes of moderate workout every day can reduce the risk of heart disease. This shows that physical activity can be helpful in reducing any type of health risk.
