Page 27 - Don’t worry – Be healthy

Movement and activity are prerequisites of staying healthy.
Several studies confirm that an active attitude during the working hours of the day lead to better health conditions. Some results even show that exercising after work does not compensate for the negative effects of a prolonged time of sedentary behavior.
Some tips to consider for more healthiness and well-being at work:
1.) Quantity
2.) Quality
3.) Stand up at work
4.) Stand up during meetings
5.) Use a flexible office design - change posture
1.) Quantity
Avoid a sedentary attitude: Try to avoid prolonged periods of sitting. A survey car- ried out by Sedus with over 1000 white-collar workers in Germany in 2013 shows that the average office worker sits for in the office more than 6 hours a day. More movement makes people feel better and is good for their health.
2.) Quality
Be active, sit properly: When sitting for longer periods – choose a good ergonomic chair that encourages micro movements of the pelvis hence allowing the nutrition of the back spine – The Sedus swing up swivel chair has been developed together with ergonomic experts of the Technical University of Munich especially for this purpose.
