2. Sitting for Long Periods
More and more people are finding themselves in a seated position for long periods of time. Jobs require a person to be sitting at a computer for long periods of time in order to get their work done. Sitting for long periods can cause a whole host of health problems.
Research has shown that people who sit for long periods can develop heart issues, diabetes, and more. In addition, if you sit for long periods of time it may cause piriformis syndrome to develop. This is mainly due to the way that you sit and not providing the piriformis muscle with the exercises that it needs in order to remain healthy and functioning properly.
Walking and stretching out the piriformis muscle is important. If you have a job that requires you to sit for long periods of time, try to take frequent breaks where you stand up and work or simply walk around for a few minutes.
