As Professor Mark Whiteley pointed out, those who like to sit in this position have many unpleasant sensations that are often ignored. For example, the appearance of “goosebumps”. As a result, the blood stagnates, clots are formed precisely because of the immobility of the blood, Express reports citing a specialist.
“Doctors found that patients who were stationary with their legs crossed were more likely to have blood clots than those who were in a different position,” Whiteley said.
The professor added that the risks are reduced if a person is hot during the working day and, in principle, is physically active. The doctor advised me to get up every 1-2 hours and walk for at least five minutes. If possible, it is worth doing some simple exercises, stretching your muscles and climbing the stairs.
Previously, experts gave drivers recommendations to help avoid neck and back problems while driving. Therefore, the best position for health is when the back and neck are straight and at a 90 degree angle to the seat. This pose is similar to the one taught to students in elementary school.
