35、en it comes to sitting properly, we all know the correct way even if we don t do it to the letter. No crossed legs, bottoms touching the back of the chair and feet on the ground. But even if you re doing it right, sitting for long periods is shockingly bad for you. It has been described as the new s
36、moking, linked to heart disease and even cancer. There is no doubt we should all try to do less of it. But perhaps we could also do it better.A classic survey, published in 1953, described 100 different sitting postures adopted by 480 cultures around the world. Among the most common were sitting cro
37、ss-legged, kneeling and the deep squat (深蹲), with feet flat on the ground and bottoms resting on or just above it. Even in Western cultures, these are preferred sitting positions among young children. But Westerners tend to prefer chair use from an early age, insisting children sit on seats in schoo
38、l.One big problem with this desire for chairs is that they make sitting so, well, sedentary (久坐不动的). Consider the Hadza, a group of hunter-gatherer people in Tanzania. They spend around 9 hours a day sitting. However, they squat and sit on the ground in various positions, and this involves high leve

Use a variety of postures and preferably not just still postures but some which allow movement, says Bettany-Saltikov.Bettany-Saltikov believes that we should be rethinking what it means to do adesk job.
41、 We still need to design workplaces that enable people to be productive while being lightly active, like with under-table cycling or walking desks, she says. For now, if your job is sedentary, don t forget to stand up regularly and move around.32. What does the author think of sitting properly for l
