When i was young it used to be Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, start with a hearty fry up and you will be set. Although 3 stable meals is still the norm we are now encouraged towards the 5 a day principle.Fruit and vegetables help set you up for a healthier lifestyle. Best of all, there is so much variety to choose from, all year long. There's enough to keep even the fussiest eaters happy. To get the best health benefits, your 5 A DAY portions should include a combination of a variety of fruit and vegetables. That's 5 portions altogether, not 5 portions of fruit and 5 portions of veg. So the big fired breakfast i have enjoyed for so many years is not as good as it seems (still tastes great on the odd occasion)We all seem to have the information needed to have a healthy life style on the food front, but there is a lot more to it than what you eat. With more than 80% of the population suffering from some sort of back pain and with recent reports showing that 44% of all reported strains and sprains, which required more than three days off work, were of the back of spine and most commonly it is related to discs in the back being compressed from maintaining a position in sitting (especially for a prolonged period). Combined with leaning forward increases the compression of the discs and the risk of back pain. Bad seating has been shown to speed up disk degeneration. As more people became chair bound (75% of the working population) and less active, abdominal and trunk mussels slacken, further increasing the instability of the spine and the risk of back pain.So why are most of us still sitting on a out of date unsupportive office chair causing lasting, sometime irreversible damage to our backs? The benefits by purchasing a good ergonomic office chair seem obvious, not just for the person sitting in it for hour on hour per day, looking after there back, but equally for an employer. Like it or not we are all employed to earn someone money, be it your self employed from your home office, or one of thousands of employee's for a multi national company. If your office chairs not an ergonomic office chair your costing someone money, and increasing the chances of having a reduced mobility later in life (not always that much later). I just don't understand it, with days lost as a result of incorrect seating from bad office chairs, which evidently causes bad posture.With the financial losses on employer's (or yourself), not to mention the possible damage caused to the user. Why do we not insist on a correct office chair? If your not happy were you sitting at the moment either get your self a correct ergonomic office chair or insist you boss get's one for you, it's a win-win situation.And don't forget to enjoy your breakfast.
You can tell many things about a person by looking at his or her office. Is it neat and sterile? Piled high with work that needs attention? Covered with loose papers and supplies? Are there lots of personal items like pictures, interesting objects, and pencil holders made by small children at preschool? And what about the furniture? Is it common stuff from a big box store or has care been taken in its selection? Is the desk chair old, sleek, or well-upholstered? Does it look like it was made to last? Offices should be comfortable and graced with enough personal items to feel warm. After all, think about the the percentage of your waking life you spend your desk! Who wants to spend a third of each day in a cold, sterile shoe box sitting in a horribly made desk chair? The best thing you can do for yourself-or your employees, is outfit each desk with an ergonomic office chair. While that might sound like a high tech or complicated name, it simply refers to any tool, item, or piece of furniture designed with the human body in mind; it is the science of designing things that are perfect for human use. It is not really a recent concept. Men have always tinkered, improving on the old. There is written evidence, in fact, that the ancient Greeks used the principals of ergonomics to improve their workplaces and tools! In terms of an office chair, ergonomic design used an understanding of the human body to produce seating that far surpasses old-fashioned desk chairs. An ergonomic chair is more comfortable for long periods of time, can be quickly adjusted in multiple ways to suit a variety of body types, is pleasing to the eye, and provides great support for the back and neck. The difference between an ergonomic office chair and a normal office chair is most obvious at the end of the day. Those in traditional chairs rise unsteadily to go home with barely enough feeling in their legs to walk to the door. They trudge painfully home, looking forward to some Advil and an early bedtime. Those with ergonomic chairs, however, are ready to party!
