Description

Ever heard of the phrase “Sitting is the new smoking?”

Do you know why they say that?

Because prolonged sitting is linked to a number of health diseases and it is considered a toxic work environment. It is linked to diseases like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and musculoskeletal problems. It even contributes to high risk of cancer and early death. 

In this episode, Dr. Dipankar shares how you can avoid this problem and create a healthy and positive work environment for yourself.

Key Takeaways

Invest in a standing or easily adjusted desk to take a break from sitting while working.

Create a company culture where you encourage employees to take breaks to stand up and stretch as that helps with blood circulation.

Set reminders on your phone to stand up and stretch after every hour.

To create a healthy work environment, invest in an ergonomic chair that helps to keep your back and posture in check.

Listen to the entire episode to understand why the sitting work culture needs to change.
