An average American office worker probably spends over 80,000 hours sitting in an office chair over the course of their career. That's bad news for all of the cubicle warriors out there. In addition to the fact that prolonged periods of sitting can aggravate neck and back problems, recent research analyzing obesity, heart disease, and diabetes suggests that the act of sitting shuts down the circulation of a fat-absorbing enzyme called lipase which can inhibit the body's ability to process fat and cholesterol. Experts suggest taking frequent breaks from sitting to counteract the negative effects of sitting for long periods of time. But the reality is that most of us will continue to spend a lot of time sitting at work, so we should at least do it properly. I am really fed up with the chair that I am provided at work. I generally prefer Big And Tall Office Chairs.
There are a number of steps that a person can take to sit in a more healthy way. The top of the computer monitor should be at or below eye level to ensure that the neck is in a natural position, free of any strain or stretching. The monitor and keyboard should be centered in front of the person at the workspace. A negative tilt keyboard or wrist rest can be beneficial in reducing wrist and hand strain from typing. Keeping wrists flat and straight is important, because when wrists are angled upwards to type, it puts additional pressure on those muscles. Keeping arms and elbows close to the body can also help reduce strain. Use a better chair buddies.

My Cousin's Reception
Gags, I would like to continue writing about my cousin's marriage reception in this post. As mentioned before, the day was full of fun. Many important persons were invited and everyone were just pouring in. The reception stage was decorated with beautiful red roses, some violet and green satin ribbons with lord Ganesha's idol in the center. We took utmost care to arrange for the best right from the Reception Chairs to refreshments post dinner. Everything was done in a grand manner except for the music orchestra. That was also well managed then. Another attraction was my cousin's wardrobe. Ah! He was given a black blazer and a lavender shirt with a dark violet tie and a branded black shoes. It suited him perfectly that he was looking damn smart. Coming to my aunt's (the bride) side, she was also looking good in a grand blue silk saree. In short, the couple attracted the gathering and I felt that they are specially made for each other. The funniest part of the evening was the photos we took with him. My younger brother (4 years old) was jumping when he was made to sit in the reception chair. My cousin then told that he was able to sit better in that chair. Had a nice time!
