World spine day, focus on our spine with you

Do you know? At the inaugural meeting of the World Spine Health Alliance in 2011, representatives from 16 countries and regions proposed that May 21th be the World Spine Health Day.

The spine is a very important part of our human body, known as the "second lifeline" of human beings. However, with the continuous acceleration of the pace of modern society, our work and life are becoming more and more busy, and many people have problems related to the spine, which affects our quality of life. Taking advantage of the World Spine Day, Hollin Furniture will share some health knowledge related to the spine to you.

1. When we stand, the spine bears 100% of the weight of the human body;

When we sit, the spine bears 150% of the body's weight;

When we lie down, the spine bears 25% of the body's weight;

When we bend over, the spine is the most stressed and bears 250% of the body's weight.

So any of our daily movements will bring different degrees of pressure to the spine.

2. According to WHO research, sitting for a long time is one of the four leading causes of death in the lifestyle. Nearly 2 million deaths worldwide are related to sitting for a long time every year. People who sit for more than 4 hours a day are 80% more likely to die from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than those who sit for less than 2 hours a day.

3. For sedentary people, because the cervical ligaments, tendons and tendon sheaths cannot be relaxed for a long time, it is easy to form cervical bone hyperplasia, calcification and ossification of the cervical ligaments, and the cervical spine becomes stiff and straight, resulting in different types of shoulder and neck discomfort.

To avoid the harm of sitting for a long time, Hollin Furniture suggests sitting and standing alternately: after sitting for a period of time, get up and move. Sit and stand alternately at home or at work.

A study on the workplace pointed out that height-adjustable desks facilitate alternating between sitting and standing, which not only helps reduce sedentary or standing behavior, alleviates the harm caused by prolonged sitting, improves physical and mental health, but also helps focus and be more productive.

The glass Standing Desk of Hollin Furniture can easily achieve the alternation of sitting and standing with one key. It also has 4 memory heights, which is suitable for various scenarios such as working, dining, and gaming, which is beneficial to take care of our spine health.
