Most of the people who go to work spend most of the day in the chair, and the contact time between the waist and back and the office chair is very long. The quality of office chairs directly affects our office efficiency and physical health.
Compared with dining chairs that are mainly for leisure, buying an office chair is more about our work scene, in order to minimize the harm caused by sedentary, so that people who are busy with business will be less burdened on the waist. Therefore, how to choose a comfortable office chair is very important.
1. Lumbar support
Each of us knows that after sitting for a long time at work, the waist will be sore and unable to lift, which is caused by the incorrect lumbar support of our office chair.
Inferior lumbar support will not only cause us back pain when sitting, but also cause our lumbar spine injury in the long run, so we must try our office chair and experience it for ourselves before purchasing to ensure that the design of the lumbar support is sufficiently comfortable.
2. Chair back
Because everyone's height and body shape are different, the pressure on the chair back is also different, so we can't think that buying a unified chair back can solve all needs.We need to choose an office chair with an adjustable tilt angle,so that everyone can find their own comfortable angle.
3. Armrest
When choosing an office chair, we tend to ignore the armrest, but in fact the armrest is a very important part of the office chair. The armrests of office chairs can support our arms and reduce the pressure on our shoulders and necks, so when we customize office chairs, we must pay attention to the position of the armrests.
All in all, in order to find a comfortable enough office chair, we must pay attention to the above three points. So how do we usually protect our waist?
1. Maintain a correct sitting posture
Many people never care about their sitting posture. In fact, poor sitting posture may lead to lower back health problems. The best sitting position is to raise your head so that your head and body are roughly in line. If the head is stretched too far forward, the muscles in the neck and upper back become tense and prone to fatigue.
We can place a foot pad under the desk so that the knee joint is slightly higher than the hip. And after working for a period of time, adjust your working position as appropriate, and it is not appropriate to keep the lumbar spine in a compressed position for a long time.
2. Strengthen the activities of the lower back
Even at the busiest time, office workers should take a little time away from their desks and do lower back activities such as stretching back and left and right rotations, which can prevent and relieve low back pain. People with plenty of time can regularly do exercises to strengthen the muscles of the lower back every day, which can not only prevent lower back pain, but also help to exercise.
3. Learn to relieve work stress
In real life, many people's low back pain is not due to physical disease, but purely mental disease. If you can spread the pressure, have some entertainment occasionally, and always maintain a good and healthy attitude, you can also prevent low back pain to a certain extent.
4. The temperature of the air conditioner in summer should not be too low
If you stay in an air-conditioned office all the time in summer, the cold air of the air-conditioning will easily make the blood vessels blocked. Coupled with lack of exercise, the blood circulation of the lower back is blocked, and there will naturally be back pain. Therefore, the temperature of the air conditioner should not be too low, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not exceed 5 to 7 °C.
