Sitting at your desk all day can make you prone to anxiety and depression.
1 of 5
Studies have shown that there is a clear link between mental illnesses and a sedentary lifestyle. Those who spend long hours working at their desks are more likely to be depressed and anxious, which has a marked effect on body pain. It makes the pain more intense and difficult to deal with since mental illness is unlikely to make you want to move around and exercise, which could effectively mitigate the problem and make the pain in your body go away.
Which of the following aggravates body pain caused by sitting all day?
2 of 5
Staying hydrated is one of the most important aspects of good health. When you have a sedentary lifestyle, you need to keep drinking water because dehydration will intensify the body pain and make it more difficult to treat. Hydration ensures that the bones, muscles and cartilage in your body get the necessary nutrition and lubrication whenever the need arises.
Sitting down for long hours puts more pressure on your spine than standing does.
3 of 5
The human body was made for movement but unfortunately, our urban lifestyles require us to remain seated at desks for extended periods of time every day. Sitting down strains the spine more than standing does, especially when you sit with your back hunched. This posture compresses the spinal discs and prevents sufficient blood and nutrients from reaching them, leading to a wide range of back problems.
Which of the following statements about body pain caused by sitting is true?
4 of 5
Although ailments of the muscle are most commonly responsible for body pain that arises from sitting all day, it is not the only cause. In many cases, a sedentary lifestyle also affects bones and cartilage which lose their lubrication from the lack of movement and become stiff, weak and prone to degeneration.
The back is the only part of your body that gets affected when you are sitting all day.
5 of 5
Sitting around all day affects nearly every part of the body and leads to stiffness and pain. Even though the spine is most likely to be affected first, sitting habits also affect the hips, legs, shoulders, and neck, which tend to tighten up and become stiff. The muscles in these parts need the movement to remain in good health and functionality. A sedentary lifestyle will lead to the degeneration of these muscles and trigger all kinds of ailments linked to body pain.
