1. The Human Body is Built to Move

That’s right!  Our bodies are actually built to move! Something your every day couch potato may hate to hear, but it’s true. 

In fact, our blood’s circulation even depends on us moving around. Between our 360 joints, 700 skeletal muscles, and elastic skin, our body is practically begging for movement.

以前人劳作多了，要静坐。现代人坐多了，要多动。做人好难啊～

(我们的身体其实非常渴望能站起来活动活动，这是它的构建方式决定的。)

2. Physical Side Effects of Sitting

When we ignore this need to move and choose to sit for prolonged periods,  especially in the common hunched over position,  over time wear and tear on our spinal discs will take effect. 

In addition, certain ligaments and joints will be overworked, muscles will strain, and our chest cavities will shrink, denying our lungs the proper expansion they need to fill with oxygen.

If that wasn’t scary enough, the act of sitting also compresses our body’s soft tissue layers. When this happens, our nerves, arteries, and veins can become blocked, limiting nerve signaling. This reduces blood flow in our limbs and can also lead to a feeling of numbness!

久坐，血都不流通了，人都要木了。

坐下的时候，不仅会使脊椎受力不均，长期下来还会造成椎间盘磨损，并且坐下的状态，会挤压我们的肌肉、神经和血管。导致肌肉麻木，阻碍神经讯号。变成“人麻不理惠子”......

3. Mental Side Effects of Sitting

Sitting down for long periods doesn’t only affect our bodies negatively on the physical side of things;  it also can have a negative mental effect on us. Remaining stationary reduces blood flow in our bodies and limits the amount of oxygen that enters our bloodstream through our lungs. Because our brain requires these things to remain alert, our focus and comprehension tend to decrease and our brain activity slows down.

身体的不适，会让脑子更不好使。

So stand up! Stretch! 

Take a walk around the office and annoy your coworkers! Remember to keep moving! Don’t become a statistic like those 9% of premature deaths each year are due to inactivity! And better yet, let us help you find the perfect desk for your preferences and space!

所以，现在就动起来吧：
