Sitting too long...the illness of the 21st century. / myLot

I do like to check things online. I can't sit for too long. Timing myself is best. When sitting too long, I mean an hour or more... the blood stagnates in your body, ( legs). Worst scenario, it can cause a blot to clothe and death occur if it reaches your heart or brain. About that, I am not telling gabuldigoop ...Now for me, the varicose vein that I have reminds me to not sit too long or stand too long. My saying is, to have a balance. Our body has not been designed to not move for hours and or to move too much either...

I don't have much of a choice. I can't stand or walk for long. I do try to get up once every hour or so, though. Though, my back is hating me today.

I think that is a real problem in modern lifestyle. I take a break every half hour or so and stretch my limbs, take a walk, close my eyes etc. I do some household work too as a welcome distraction. Yes, we need balance to stay healthy.

I have varicose veins from not staying off my feet

Anyway, point well taken, the body is built for movement
