World Arthritis Day 2025: Everyone’s lifestyle is now becoming irregular. Where with eight-hour work, no physical activity and wrong eating habits are becoming a part of everyone’s life. Working in a desk job while sitting may help you complete your work target at the right time but it has a bad effect on the body. Due to the way we sit at the desk, our body posture gets spoiled. Working at a desk for long periods of time and staring at a phone screen causes body weight and gravity to put uneven pressure on the joints.
This extra pressure starts prematurely affecting the cartilage of the knees, hips and spine. Due to this the problem of arthritis occurs. To create awareness about this, Arthritis Day is being celebrated today on 12th October.
Wrong posture increases pain in the body
Wrong posture occurs while working at the desk. This type of condition also weakens the muscles that support the joints. This imbalance that persists for a long time affects overall health. In this way, people start suffering from joint pain i.e. arthritis due to wrong posture. Therefore, it is very important to stay away from joint problems by keeping yourself in correct posture. It is said that sitting or standing incorrectly causes overloading on the joints. If you sit leaning forward, there is more pressure on the spine and hips than usual. This extra stress gradually wears down the cartilage and causes inflammation in the joints, which directly leads to the pain of arthritis.
Know what is the correct sitting posture
If you do a desk job, then the correct posture for you has been explained. Correct posture is one in which your spine remains straight and your ears, shoulders, and hips are in line. This type of posture ensures that the body weight is evenly distributed over the joints. Adopting correct posture not only reduces joint stress, but also improves blood circulation and keeps the muscles strong.
Improve sitting posture in this way
You should take this remedy to improve your bad posture while doing a desk job. Adjust your chair so that your feet are flat on the ground and knees are at hip level. The monitor should be at your eye level so that your neck does not bend. After this, getting up every 30 minutes and walking and stretching will prevent joints from getting jammed.
