If you are anything like me, you spend a lot of your time at a computer periodically sighing and looking out the window. If you are not like me, it is too bad that you do not have a window office.
Many people are starting to work on computers and in offices now days. As we enter the digital age, we all have digital work to do.
So what happens to our bodies while we sit on our computers and write articles about health and nutrition? Well there are a number of things; first our spine is getting a good amount of tension from our bad posture, this is going to catch up to you.
Look at those oldie pants walking around in the self-serve buffets these days. These are ones that took care of their spine, and they still look like turtles.
These old people that shuffle about with their hands cocked up like a raptor and their bald heads hanging with spines bent like vultures, they come from a different time. They didn't live with chairs and computers, they had to farm and lift bales of hay.
You may be thinking, "Oh well then I should be better off in my cozy little office". Well... no, you are not.
Truth is, sitting actually puts more pressure on the spine that standing does. And, What is more, regular exercise is required for health spine and joint alignment.
So we in many ways are probably a lot worse off than those old folks. At least as far as how bad our spines will be by the time we are their age.
Growing old and getting decrepit got to look forward to that. Sitting in a spinny chair is the best place to appreciate it from too.
Think about contemplating your 70th birthday, when you are in the middle of job out at some construction site. That could be strenuous.
It is good to sit while you think about those types of things. However, if I am being honest, those people that are doing manual labor will naturally preserve their strength and bodies much longer than us office workers.
It is not that big of a deal to be concerned about, so you will look like that 70 year old when you are 60. By that time you probably will be senile anyway.
Trying to keep up with technology futile, especially once you hit forty. If you try you will only lose your mind.
In twenty years things will be so much different than now, you will laugh and say things like, "haha I remember when the world was normal". Your children will say things like, " it is normal, your just old." Destry Masterson is a health, fitness and nutrition expert.
