The Live Well health awareness platform has warned of the dangers of prolonged sitting during work hours, stating that it strains the body more than many realize.

The platform explained that simple movements from time to time help stimulate blood circulation and support overall health.

In a post on X, Live Well noted that continuous sitting, especially in poor posture, can lead to muscle stiffness and fatigue, slower blood flow in the legs, and a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Live Well also emphasized the importance of engaging in light physical activity periodically during work hours to reduce muscle stiffness and maintain flexibility and energy.
