Why sitting is bad for you

Sitting down for brief periods can help us recover from stress or recuperate from exercise. But nowadays, our lifestyles make us sit much more than we move around. Are our bodies built for such a sedentary existence? Murat Dalkilinç investigates the hidden

 이전 강연도 사실, 몸이랑 관련 있다고 하면 관련 있는 강연이죠. 이게 관심 분야가 꼬리를 물고 추천하니까, 우연히 관련 분야를 연달아서 보는 효과(?)가 있습니다. 무튼, script 와 추천 word 소개 해드리기 전에, 간단하게 설명해드리겠습니다. 일단, 이 강연을 보고 있다는 것을 전제로 하고, 앉아서 보고 있겠지? 라고 guessing 문장을 던지고 시작합니다. 잠깐 보는 것은 괜찮지만, 오래 앉아 있으면 안좋다고 하네요. 저희 몸을 좀.. 흥분시키고, 안좋은 방향으로 뒤흔든다라고 하네요. 그래서 제가 다리를 좀 많이 떠는 거 같습니다. 우리가 생각하기에는 우리의 몸이 안자 있는 것을 좋아하는 거 같냐고 물어보고는 그 반대라고 답문 해줍니다. 이런 스피치는 청준이 없기 때문에, 자문 자답을 하게 되네요! 즉, 우리의 몸은 앉아있는 존재가 아닌 움직이는 존재라는 거죠. 많이 움직이게 디면, 그로 인해, 신경 세포가 좋아지고, 피부까지도 좋아진다고 하네요. 그런데 이렇게 움직이게 만들어진 몸을 안 움직이면 어떻게 될까요? 척주에 불균형한 압력으로 인하나 피로, 몸안에 공간이 줄어듬으로써, 폐가 공기를 피에 전달하는 양이 줄어듬으로써, 몸에 안좋은 영향을 끼친다는 거죠. 그리고 쭉 설명하다가, 우리가 두뇌에 좋으라고 앉아서 공부하는건데, 그게 정반대라는 거예요. 움직여야 두뇌에 좋다는 거죠! 이건 머.. 옛날에, 읽었던 일취월장과 완벽한 공부법에서 나오는 "몸" "운동" 과 관련 있는 거 같습니다. 정말 TED를 통해서, 많은 것을 되새김하는 거 같습니다. 참 오래 앉아 있으면 여러가지 질병의 원인이 된다고 하니, 자주 자주 생각날때마다, 스트레칭이나 좀 움직이면서 일 or 공부를 하시길 바랍니다.

Right now, you're probably sitting down to watch this video and staying seated for a few minutes to view it is probably okay. But the longer you stay put, the more agitated your body becomes. It sits there counting down the moments until you stand up again and take it for a walk. That may sound ridiculous. Our bodies love to sit, right? Not really. Sure, sitting for brief periods can help us recover from stress or recuperate from exercise. But nowadays, our lifestyles make us sit much more than we move around, and our bodies simply aren't built for such a sedentary existence. In fact, just the opposite is true. The human body is built to move, and you can see evidence of that in the way it's structured. Inside us are over 360 joints, and about 700 skeletal muscles that enable easy, fluid motion. The body's unique physical structure gives us the ability to stand up straight against the pull of gravity.

Our blood depends on us moving around to be able to circulate properly. Our nerve cells benefit from movement, and our skin is elastic, meaning it molds to our motions. So if every inch of the body is ready and waiting for you to move, what happens when you just don't? Let's start with the backbone of the problem, literally. Your spine is a long structure made of bones and the cartilage discs that sit between them. Joints, muscles and ligaments that are attached to the bones hold it all together. A common way of sitting is with a curved back and slumped shoulders, a position that puts uneven pressure on your spine. Over time, this causes wear and tear in your spinal discs, overworks certain ligaments and joints, and puts strain on muscles that stretch to accommodate your back's curved position. This hunched shape also shrinks your chest cavity while you sit, meaning your lungs have less space to expand into when you breath. That's a problem because it temporarily limits the amount of oxygen that fills your lungs and filters into your blood. Around the skeleton are the muscles, nerves, arteries and veins that form the body's soft tissue layers. The very act of sitting squashes, pressurizes and compresses, and these more delicate tissues really feel the brunt. Have you ever experienced numbness and swelling in your limbs when you sit? In areas that are the most compressed, your nerves, arteries and veins can become blocked, which limits nerve signaling, causing the numbness, and reduces blood flow in your limbs, causing them to swell. Sitting for long periods also temporarily deactivates lipoprotein lipase, a special enzyme in the walls of blood capillaries that breaks down fats in the blood, so when you sit, you're not burning fat nearly as well as when you move around.

What effect does all of this stasis have on the brain? Most of the time, you probably sit down to use your brain, but ironically, lengthy periods of sitting actually run counter to this goal. Being stationary reduces blood flow and the amount of oxygen entering your blood stream through your lungs. Your brain requires both of those things to remain alert, so your concentration levels will most likely dip as your brain activity slows. Unfortunately, the ill effects of being seated don't only exist in the short term. Recent studies have found that sitting for long periods is linked with some types of cancers and heart disease and can contribute to diabetes, kidney and liver problems. In fact, researchers have worked out that, worldwide, inactivity causes about 9% of premature deaths a year. That's over 5 million people. So what seems like such a harmless habit actually has the power to change our health. But luckily, the solutions to this mounting threat are simple and intuitive. When you have no choice but to sit, try switching the slouch for a straighter spine, and when you don't have to be bound to your seat, aim to move around much more, perhaps by setting a reminder to yourself to get up every half hour. But mostly, just appreciate that bodies are built for motion, not for stillness. In fact, since the video's almost over, why not stand up and stretch right now? Treat your body to a walk. It'll thank you later.

정말, 오래 앉아 있으면 안되겠네요. 죄다, 안좋은 애기만 하니깐요. 앉아 있으면서 요리 조리 몸을 좀 돌리면서 어느정도는, 보완작업을 해야 되겠다라는 생각이 듭니다. 하지만, 하루에도 정말 많은 시간을 앉아있는데.. 지금도 앉아서 키보드를 치고 있다는 것... 무튼 조심하면서, 꾸준한 운동이 가장 중요하다라고 생각합니다. 그럼 조금이나마 도움이 되셨으면 좋겠네요. 감사합니다.
