LONG SITTING HOURS

Most of us often spend a good portion of their day sitting upright. Whether they are inside an office space or at school we do a lot of sitting. I know this beats standing the whole day but there are health complications that arise due to sitting for long periods of time, such as:

•     Strained Neck: We often forward our neck while in front of a computer; this can lead to strains in your vertebrae.

•     Back Pain: Being hunched up in front of a computer the whole day will have its own toll on the back. Moreover sitting puts more pressure on the back than standing.

•     Shoulder Strain: There is always going to be stress on your shoulder while you do any task sitting down.

How to Overcome Health Risks associated with prolonged sitting?

•    Stack Sitting: Sit with your back stretching out a bit and each breath you take will automatically lengthen your spine.

•    Stretch Sitting: Use your backrest support as a traction device to prevent your nerves from being impinged between your vertebrae. This helps give you relief against sciatic nerve root pain

LET US BREATHE THIS DIWALI!

Alarm Tick Off - 4:30 AM. Wake Up Call - 4:45 AM Time To Exhilarate / Warm-Up- 5:00 AM As I step out of my house to breathe in and breathe out the fresh morning air, I only get to inhale and exhale the smoky air.

Yes, like always we will blame the crop burning that takes place during fall and bursting of fire crackers during Diwali.  It's High time; let's stop the blame game. WE - the gifted human race - are the real culprits. We only talk abou
