The Dangers of Prolonged Sitting and CHIESMA’s Solutions: The Science of Ergonomics🤩
Yuechong Wu In today’s digital age, prolonged sitting has become a common lifestyle for many of us. Whether it’s sitting at a desk for hours on end or lounging on the couch for extended periods, the sedentary lifestyle poses significant threats to our health. However, many people may not fully understand the potential dangers of prolonged sitting and how ergonomic design can scientifically mitigate these issues. Today, we will delve into the hazards of sitting for long periods and introduce how CHIESMA’s ergonomic products offer scientific solutions to enhance your well-being and boost your recognition of the products.
I. The Dangers of Prolonged Sitting: Health Risks You Can’t Ignore
1. Obesity
Prolonged sitting is a major contributor to obesity. When we sit for extended periods, our metabolism slows down significantly, reducing energy expenditure. Studies have shown that individuals who sit for long periods burn about 30% fewer calories compared to those who are more active. This means that people who sit for long periods are more likely to accumulate fat, particularly around the abdomen. Excess abdominal fat not only affects appearance but also increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
2. Cardiovascular Diseases
Prolonged sitting can have detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system. Sitting for long periods causes blood to pool in the lower limbs, increasing the risk of varicose veins. Moreover, prolonged sitting can slow down blood circulation, increasing the likelihood of blood clots. Research indicates that individuals who sit for long periods have a 60% higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases compared to those who are more active.
3. Spinal Problems
Sitting for extended periods in an unsuitable chair can exert significant pressure on the spine. Poor posture can lead to spinal curvature, and over time, this may result in conditions such as lumbar disc herniation and cervical spondylosis. Many office workers and individuals who use computers for long periods suffer from these issues, which not only affect work efficiency but also cause long-term pain and discomfort.
4. Mental Stress
Prolonged sitting is not only harmful to physical health but also has negative effects on mental well-being. Sitting in the same position for long periods can cause muscle tension, leading to fatigue and stress. Additionally, prolonged sitting can reduce blood flow to the brain, affecting concentration and memory, and resulting in decreased work efficiency.

III. The Science Behind Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the science of studying the relationship between human anatomy, physiology, and the work environment. It optimizes the design of the working environment and tools to reduce physical strain and fatigue, improving work efficiency and quality of life. CHIESMA’s ergonomic products are designed based on these scientific principles, aiming to provide users with the most comfortable experience while protecting their health.

The spine is a crucial support structure of the human body, and maintaining poor posture for long periods can exert significant pressure on it. CHIESMA’s ergonomic chairs provide excellent lumbar support and distribute body weight to effectively reduce the burden on the spine, preventing lumbar disc herniation and other related issues.
2. Promoting Blood Circulation
Prolonged sitting can slow down blood circulation, increasing the risk of varicose veins and blood clots. CHIESMA’s ergonomic chairs, with their unique designs, promote blood circulation in the legs, reducing the pooling of blood in the lower limbs and lowering the risk of these health problems.
