Why sitting is bad for you - Murat Dalkilinç

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/why-sitting...
Sitting down for brief periods can help us recover from stress or recuperate from exercise. But nowadays, our lifestyles make us sit much more than we move around. Are our bodies built for such a sedentary existence? Murat Dalkilinç investigates the hidden risks of sitting down.

Last year I bought a desk with electrically adjustable height to be able to switch between standing and sitting regularly during the day. In december I also bought a small foldable walking pad which I can place below the desk and walk while working. With just 2kph it's still pretty easy to work and I usually use it once in the morning and once in the afternoon for around an hour each, which enables me to walk 4 kilometres and 8000 steps each day while working. Definitely my best investment for office equipment! I can highly recommend it to anyone who is bound to a desk while working.

I was so gutted that I only found out about this last month. This is one of those things where, if you exercise regularly, you're lured into the false sense of security by thinking your health is fine, but that alone can't counteract hours of pressure on your spine, vital organs, etc. You HAVE to MOVE. I will share that, after just one week of cutting back my sedentary hours to less than four a day, my poor circulation has improved dramatically, I've lost nine pounds in a month and an inch of my waist (excellent when you're 40! I'm telling you), and I have no back pain any more. 🙂

What I mean is that evolution of a species depends of natural or artificial selection, and since there isn't any kind of relation between how adapted is your body to remain sitting and your chances of producing offspring I doubt we will "evolve" to be better at sitting.

That has caused me feetpain, circulatory problems, severe backpain and even a broken tailbone(cause my muscles were so tense). I always thought a standing job would be more healthy cause sitting is so bad. But standing is so much worse. A job were you switch between sitting, standing and moving is best but hard to find in this industrial/capitalistic world.

I liked the video how it explained. I've been spending my time sitting down and doing computer-based tasks for hours. It is really bad for our health. The world is driving us to more passive life. For instance, in the past when someone wanted to get a food, they would just go to the shop, walk around a bit, buy the food and return. However, in today's world, the technological advancements allow us to order food from home via our phones. Another example is that kids before the invention of cellphones, used to play outside games, hangout with friends to ride a bicycle and etc. Sadly, today's generation is in a period that they would not even want to go out to play physically due to the availability of smartphones and the internet. All in all, it was a great video with illustrations and thank you for reminding me to sit properly and walk around a bit.

for students here commenting that sitting down to study: use the pomodoro technique. 25 minutes of studying and 5 minutes of break. you can always flex yourself in the 5 minutes that are meant for break. Also one can exercise after studying if time permits,

[@samahamara8543]

You're talking like u never took a class

[@venusstardust1887]

What about school though? Not online school

[@rauldurand]

Sitting is really bad, not counting the reduction in bone density and in the way to osteoporosis.

[@raspas99]

Unfortunately countless studies show that exercise after sitting doesn't really change deteriorating effects. It's something that you came up by thinking about it briefly and it sounds like it helps but in real life it doesn't. It also shows how just thinking that you know a solution really doesn't mean that you have it.

[@ManlioLoGiudice]

@@raspas99 to better clarify a possible misunderstanding: the studies you are referring are surely applicable to "going to the gym after 8 hrs of work spent sitting". This should be not the case. Alternating brief sitting sessions with frequent movements / standing ups it's another story overall and there is plenty of evidence this counteracts sedentary behavior outcomes.

ive noticed I more creative when im pacing

[@Gioeufshi]

exactly for me too. Pacing back and forth helps me in all kinds of stuff. I think that is because O2 is transmitted more intensively to brain.

[@M_P_N]

I agree, my imagination, problem solving and analytic skills are greatly aided by me pacing around. This video really opened my eyes, I need to be more active.

[@1eurochair225]

The overlap of the vertebrae transforms the spine into an active tower, whose stability must be achieved with dynamic anchors. A rigid seat does not give the legs the role of dynamic anchors and when you get tired, the back looks for support points and collapses in the backrest.

[@flooshm]

Title: "Why sitting is bad for you" Me: Guess I'll die...

[@VictorTimofti]

The solution is a lot simplier: WORK STANDING!!!

[@Greenmarty]

Standing is much worse at least for me than sittings. Walking is the best option but I haven't figured out how to do that in open office with whole computer + monitor set up.

[@racoonlittle1679]

I occasionally jump around when I get excited. If only a little, then I stand with feet walking in the same spot. This holds especially true when I'm doing group projects as I have to leave my seat. I guess that's why I feel healthier in school?

[@Kanibulus]

[@thestarspark2288]

Be careful, sitting is the whole reason I've had problems with my back. I'm a student, I'm young, fit and healthy, and I slipped a disc in my spine from sitting too much whilst studying last year, and ever since I've been in pain nearly every day. I was incapacitated for weeks, and since then I've had to spend hundred of $$$ on seeing my physiotherapist, a lot of time doing strengthening exercises and swimming, and minimizing my time sitting. As a result I've had to completely change my life style and the way I spend time. As I type this I'm laying on my yoga mat at home, keeping my spine in good posture and taking the weight off it. Its getting better though, finally. It is WORTH it to take breaks from sitting. It got to the point for me where I would have to sit up the back of class and stand up because I would be in so much pain.

[@panpiper]

I advise frequent and intense fidgeting. With luck, it will get you expelled.

[@Lorenz398]

Peter Cohen I'm not sure if that's what I want :)

[@khoip4937]

classes don't last 6 hrs lol. They last 1-1.5 hours, with 10 min break in between. That's pretty sufficient for you.
