Research has found a connection with sitting
for extended periods of time and numerous health conditions, such as obesity
and metabolic syndrome which is defined as a cluster of conditions occurring
together that increase your risk of stroke, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.
Included in these conditions are increased blood sugar, increased blood
pressure, abnormal triglyceride or cholesterol levels, and extra body fat
around the midriff area. Sitting for long periods of time also can result in
chronic back pain and increase the risk of death from cancer and cardiovascular
disease.
A possible answer to this growing concern
hydraulic adjustable laboratory workstations and benches. A lab workstation
must be designed for a demanding environment while maintaining efficiency and
productivity.
Sitting All
Day Can Be Harmful
Any extended sitting, such as behind the wheel
of your car or behind a desk at work can be harmful. Furthermore, engaging on
moderate or vigorous activity or spending many hours at the gym does not
significantly balance the risk according to Dr. James Levine, the obesity
expert.
