Sitting for long periods has many negative health effects according to four experts. Prolonged sitting can lead to organ damage like heart disease and diabetes as well as issues like increased risk of some cancers. It can also cause muscle degeneration in the back, hips, and legs as sitting does not engage these muscles. The experts recommend taking breaks from sitting by standing up, walking around, or doing light exercises like stretches to counter the health risks of too much sitting.

Common Bone and Muscle Injuries
Injuries-harm or damage.
Disease- an illness that affects the person, animal, or pants. A condition that prevents the body or mind from working normally.
1.Fracture- a break in the bone.
2.Dislocation- occurs when a bone in the joint is displaced or has moved out of its proper position.
3. Sprain- an injury to a ligament caused by excessive stretching. It brings so much pain and swelling in the injured part.
4. Cramp- A strong muscle contraction that can be very painful lasting for a few minutes but massaging the muscle can often relieve the pain.
5. Bruise- muscles become black or blue due to blood clot when you get hit or when you bumped into something hard.
6. Osteoporosis- caused by thinning and weakening of bones usually experienced by elderly people. The bones become brittle and weak.
7.Arthritis- a common joint disorder characterized by inflammation of the fingers and joints of the body.
8.Rickets- a bone caused by a deficiency in vitamin D usually observed in children.
9.Polio- it is an acute infection caused by a virus that attacks the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord resulting to paralysis.
10. Scoliosis. Every person's spine curves a little bit; a certain amount of curvature is necessary for people to move and walk properly.
How to take care of our muscles and bones?
Eat healthy food, especially dairy foods, which give your bones the calcium they need.
Get plenty of exercise and make sure that you protect your bones when you play sport.
Have a healthy well balanced diet and exercise every day. a healthy diet which has milk products, fish and meat will help your muscles to get the protein they need to build up to be strong and healthy.
STOMACH AND SMALL INTESTINES
Stomach- is a big sack between the esophagus and the small intestines.
The stomach contains hydrochloric acid made by stomach cells. This acid kills bacteria in the food.
It is 12 inches long and 6 inches wide.
J-shaped muscular bag that stores the food and breaks it down into tiny pieces.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
STAGES OF DIGESTION
1. Chewing ( mouth and tongue)-When you chew your food it breaks up big pieces into little pieces that are easier to digest and swallow.
2. Swallowing (esophagus)-tongue helps to push food into the back of our throat. Then there are special throat muscles that force the food down into a long tube that leads to our stomach, called the esophagus.
3. Stomach-food hangs out in the stomach for around four hours. While the food sits there, more enzymes go to work on it, breaking down things like proteins that our bodies can use. The stomach kills a lot of bad bacteria as well, so we don't get sick.
4. Small Intestine - The first part of the small intestine works with juices from the liver and pancreas to continue to break down our food. The second part is where the food gets absorbed from the intestine and into our body through the blood.
5. Large Intestine - The last stage is the large
Bad posture increases pressure on your spine and can compress your internal organs.
This can lead to issues including:
Tension
Soreness
Headaches
Back pain
Fatigue
Bad posture can also diminish our breathing capacity by as much as 30%.

1. Don’t just sit there!
We know sitting too much is bad, and most of us intuitively feel a little guilty after a long TV binge. But what exactly goes wrong in our bodies when we park
ourselves for nearly eight hours per day, the average for a U.S. adult? Many things, say four experts, who detailed a chain of problems from head to toe.
Reporting by Bonnie Berkowitz; Graphic by Patterson Clark
ORGAN DAMAGE
TROUBLE AT THE TOP
Heart disease
Foggy brain
Muscles burn less fat and blood flows more sluggishly during a long sit, allowing fatty
acids to more easily clog the heart. Prolonged sitting has been linked to high blood
pressure and elevated cholesterol, and people with the most sedentary time are
more than twice as likely to have cardiovascular disease than those with the least.
Brain
Moving muscles pump fresh blood and oxygen
through the brain and trigger the release of all
sorts of brain- and mood-enhancing chemicals.
When we are sedentary for a long time,
everything slows, including brain function.
Overproductive pancreas
The pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that carries glucose to cells for energy.
But cells in idle muscles don’t respond as readily to insulin, so the pancreas
produces more and more, which can lead to diabetes and other diseases. A 2011
study found a decline in insulin response after just one day of prolonged sitting.
Trapezius
Cervical
vertebrae
Colon cancer
Studies have linked sitting to a greater risk for colon, breast and endometrial
cancers. The reason is unclear, but one theory is that excess insulin encourages
cell growth. Another is that regular movement boosts natural antioxidants that
kill cell-damaging — and potentially cancer-causing — free radicals.
Strained neck
If most of your sitting occurs at a desk
at work, craning your neck forward
toward a keyboard or tilting your
head to cradle a phone while
typing can strain the cervical
vertebrae and lead to
permanent imbalances.
Proper alignment
of cervical vertebrae
Sore shoulders and back
The neck doesn’t slouch alone. Slumping forward
overextends the shoulder and back muscles as well,
particularly the trapezius, which connects the neck
and shoulders.
Heart
BAD BACK
Inflexible spine
Pancreas
Colon
MUSCLE DEGENERATION
Abdominal
muscles
Mushy abs
Disk
When you stand, move or even sit up straight, abdominal muscles
keep you upright. But when you slump in a chair, they go unused.
Tight back muscles and wimpy abs form a posture-wrecking
alliance that can exaggerate the spine’s natural arch,
a condition called hyperlordosis, or swayback.
Lumbar
vertebrae
Spines that don’t move become inflexible and
susceptible to damage in mundane activities, such as
when you reach for a coffee cup or bend to tie a shoe.
When we move around, soft disks between vertebrae
expand and contract like sponges, soaking up fresh
blood and nutrients. When we sit for a long time, disks
are squashed unevenly and lose sponginess. Collagen
hardens around supporting tendons and ligaments.
Disk damage
Psoas
Hip flexor
Tight hips
Flexible hips help keep you balanced, but
chronic sitters so rarely extend the hip flexor
muscles in front that they become short and
tight, limiting range of motion and stride
length. Studies have found that decreased
hip mobility is a main reason elderly
people tend to fall.
Glutes
Ischeal tuberosity
Limp glutes
Lumbar region bowed
by shortened psoas
Sitting requires your glutes to do absolutely
nothing, and they get used to it. Soft glutes
hurt your stability, your ability to push off and
your ability to maintain a powerful stride.
People who sit more are at
greater risk for herniated
lumbar disks. A muscle
called the psoas travels
through the abdominal
cavity and, when it tightens,
pulls the upper lumbar spine
forward. Upper-body weight
rests entirely on the ischeal
tuberosity (sitting bones)
instead of being distributed
along the arch of the spine.
Varicose
veins
THE RIGHT WAY TO SIT
LEG DISORDERS
If you have to sit often, try to do
it correctly. As Mom always said,
“Sit up straight.”
Poor circulation in legs
Sitting for long periods of time slows blood circulation,
which causes fluid to pool in the legs. Problems range
from swollen ankles and varicose veins to dangerous
blood clots called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Soft bones
Weight-bearing
activities such as
walking and running
stimulate hip and
lower-body bones to
grow thicker, denser
and stronger. Scientists
partially attribute the
recent surge in cases
of osteoporosis to lack
of activity.
Mortality of sitting
People who watched the
most TV in an 8.5-year
study had a 61 percent
greater risk of dying
than those who
31%
watched less
than one hour
per day.
14%
Not leaning

Elbows bent

61%
Feet flat

Hours of TV per day
So what can we do? The experts recommend . . .
Sitting on something wobbly such
as an exercise ball or even a backless
stool to force your core muscles to
work. Sit up straight
and keep your feet
flat on the floor in
front of you so they
support about a
quarter of your
weight.

Stretching the hip

Walking during
commercials
when you’re
watching TV.
Even a snail-like
pace of 1 mph
would burn
twice the
calories of
sitting, and
more vigorous
exercise would
be even better.
The experts
Alternating between sitting
and standing at your work
station. If you can’t do that, stand
up every half hour or so and walk.

poses — the cow
pose and the cat
— to improve
extension and
flexion in your
back.
