Office workers spend over five hours sitting at
their desks on the average. That amount of sitting accounts for extreme
sedentarism and is among the principle causes of back problems, circulatory
issue, even of heart problems and excess weight. Fortunately, more and more
companies understand that preserving the health of their employees is
everyone’s best interest and are willing to invest into ergonomic office
furniture. Here are some furnishing items intended not only to be functional,
but to promote the health of the users as well:
-
Ergonomic office chairs – good office chairs for sale provide lumbar support, have a back that follows the line of the
user’s spine and allow for adjusting the height of the seating surface and the
angle of the back and of the armrest;
-
Exercise balls – the large,
inflatable balls used in fitness rooms do excellent service in offices, too.
Many people who have replaced their standard office chairs with one of these large
balls say that the tension in their back got almost instantly relieved;
-
Sit-to-stand desks – standing
by your desk instead of sitting by it might seem strange first, but the
standing position has lots of health benefits, such as promoting back health and
healthy blood circulation in the legs.
