How Sitting in the Wrong Position for Any Length of Time Can Cause Serious Health Problems

The Way You're Sitting Right Now Is Killing You

In a limber episode of the The Infographics Show (previously), the narrator explains how sitting in the wrong position for any amount of time can cause a wide variety of preventable health conditions, such as musculature and bone problems, body aches and pains, and pulmonary and circulatory diseases. He also explains how to properly sit while working, relaxing, and pooping.

It’s something you are doing right now and probably not even aware of, but the way you are sitting right now is killing you. We are always sitting, whether it’s in front of a computer screen at work, or if it’s on the couch to relax, but sitting the wrong way can cause some serious health problems and it’s something you need to be aware of.
