Constant Sitting: A Silent Threat to Your Health and Joints
•Prolonged sitting, whether at home or office, significantly increases the risk of premature aging and long-term health issues.
•Doctors warn that this habit can lead to early weakness in knees, back, and neck due to stiffening of the body's 360 joints.
•Reduced physical activity weakens muscles, putting more pressure on joints and accelerating their aging process.
•The problem is escalating in India, particularly among urban working professionals, leading to a rise in joint and back pain among young people.
•Simple remedies include taking short breaks to walk or exercise every 30-40 minutes, using stairs, and engaging in at least 30 minutes of daily physical activity.
