"Sitting for long periods of time and done year after year could create declining circulation, metabolism slows, blood sugar imbalances and cause pressure on the balance of postural muscles," said Dr. Helen Lee, DC, a practitioner and founder of Touch of Life Chiropractic in Hoffman Estates , Illinois, as quoted from Sheknows, Friday (22/10/2010).

Dr Lee said that would not be surprised if people are too much sitting can lead to weight gain and poor health status. For that one needs to learn and improve posture. Here are tips on a healthy sitting posture, namely:

1. Provide support (bearing) on the waist Chairs used must be able to help or do not make people sick when trying to sit down with the healthy. Dr Lee advised to sit in a chair with providing support or ancillary to the waist. For example, by putting a small pillow at the waist, buttocks and sit half berth. 

2. Develop a healthy sitting posture
The best seats will not improve your posture if a person tends to bend, bent on a keyboard or a crossed leg when seated.

For that try to do the following things while sitting, namely:
- Put both feet flat on the floor with the knees slightly higher than hips.
- Place the elbow in a comfortable position on the side or rest your arm on the backrest that allows the shoulders to be relaxed.
- Keep shoulders parallel or not moving forward.
- Head looking straight ahead and your chin tilted slightly downward.
- Focus on the abdomen or belly breathing throughout the day to increase the oxygen and the body remains relaxed.

3. Keeping your body hydrated
Dehydration can make a person tired and tend to sit with more degenerate positions. For that still keep the body well hydrated throughout the day.

4. Get up and move
Move on a regular basis or get up every 15-30 minutes or so to stretch muscles, move and breathe. If possible try to walk for a moment. This condition will increase the circulation and energy and avoid the people too much snacking at the table.


5. Check the condition of bed A person could spend 5-8 hours in bed in a day, so the beds also have a significant effect on body posture. To make sure that the bed has good support for the body and change the location of the body every few months to prevent indentation of the body on a mattress that can make the body sick.
