Whether working remotely in the office or from home, many people need to face computer screens and sit for several hours. This prolonged sitting posture poses many health risks to our bodies.

Potential health effects of prolonged sitting and standing
Musculoskeletal problems: Prolonged sitting can cause muscle tension in the back, neck, and shoulders, and even chronic pain. The skeletal structure of the human body is not designed to maintain a posture for a long time, therefore, prolonged immobility can increase the burden on the skeletal structure, leading to various musculoskeletal diseases.

Blood circulation problems: Sitting still can cause obstruction of blood circulation in the lower limbs, which may increase the risk of thrombosis in the long run. Poor blood circulation may also lead to lower limb swelling, fatigue, and pain.

Metabolic problems: Long-term sitting can reduce the body’s ability to metabolize sugar and fat and increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

How ergonomic furniture can alleviate these issues
The design purpose of ergonomic furniture is to improve comfort, reduce injury, and improve work efficiency. Here are some examples of how ergonomic products can help alleviate prolonged sitting and standing problems:

Ergonomic chairs: By providing good back support and adjustment functions, they can reduce pressure on the spine while sitting, and alleviate pain in the back, neck, and shoulders.

Adjustable height workstation: The lifting table allows people to change their posture while working, from sitting to standing, helping to improve blood circulation and reduce muscle tension caused by prolonged sitting.

Ergonomic keyboard and mouse: Specially designed keyboard and mice can reduce wrist twisting and help prevent the occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome. Keeping the wrist in a natural position can significantly reduce wrist and arm pain caused by prolonged use of computers.

Foot pads: Using foot pads can help improve blood circulation in the legs and feet, reduce fatigue and swelling in the lower limbs. They can also help maintain proper sitting posture and reduce pressure on the ankles and knees from prolonged sitting.

Conclusion
The design and use of ergonomic furniture can greatly help alleviate health problems caused by prolonged sitting, improve work efficiency, and protect our bodies from the invasion of chronic diseases. By arranging the workstation layout reasonably, regularly changing work postures, and combining the use of ergonomic furniture, we can effectively combat the negative health effects caused by prolonged sitting and standing.
