A physiotherapist once said to me that sitting with bad posture isn't even bad for you... as long as you don't stay in the same position too long. So the problem isn't sitting, standing or lying down, its doing those for too long. I suppose probably due to not moving, as you said.
- longtom 6y agoA hunched sitting posture and little physical activity does likely impair the metabolism though. The human metabolism has adapted for things to be upright and moving all the time, not for sitting absolutely still with compression forces acting upon the abdominal intestines by being hunched over for hours at a time. https://medium.com/@truppr/long-sitting-how-it-affects-your-health-productivity-and-cuts-lifespan-6e1a2000b0bf https://medium.com/@truppr/long-sitting-how-it-affects-your-...

- runarberg 6y agoI find my self working more and more sitting on the floor with my legs crossed on a floor pillow and the laptop on top of a shin high living room table. My legs can only take this for about half an hour before I start feeling the lack of blood flow, so I’m forced to change positions, stand up and rest for a little, or move to a desk or to the sofa. Even in the sofa I work sitting with my legs crossed up in the sofa for the same reason. I find this forces me to change my position quite frequently and never work for too long at a time without moving at least a little.
