The risk of sitting

The Human body is meant to be active which helps blood circulate more effective, and why our skin protects us and moves with us in motion. Even though you may feel you need that extra few minutes of sitting to recover, you're continually pulling at your joints and ligaments which are tightening your muscles. Most of us are experiencing this inactivity more and more at our place of work. How do we win at this battle without quitting our job? Know that the longer you sit you reduce blood flow, which reduces the oxygen in blood flow going to your brain, which decreases your alertness and productivity!  So you either get up and move or lose your job for underperforming 🤔
