Which is more harmful, standing for a long time or sedentary?

whether standing for a long time or sitting for a long time, it will cause corresponding diseases and cause harm to the body. Which one is more harmful? Dr. Xu will tell you what diseases they can cause respectively.

Let's talk about sedentary

Many office workers may sit for one day. Dr. Xu has a 19-year-old patient with coronary heart disease, who is in the IT industry. He usually sits at work for more than ten hours. As a result, the heart vessel is severely narrowed and a stent is implanted.

people who like playing mahjong may sit for most of the day or all night. Dr. Xu has a patient who likes to play mahjong at ordinary times. One day, his left lower limb suddenly became swollen and painful, and it turned out that there was a venous thrombosis in his lower limb.

some people take long-distance buses or planes for work or life. Dr. Xu has a patient who took a long-distance bus ride for six or seven hours back to his hometown. As a result, venous thrombosis of the right lower extremity occurred two or three days later.

Thrombosis may occur in venous thrombosis of lower limbs, and the embolus may walk in the body, which may embolize the pulmonary artery, causing severe pulmonary embolism, which may be fatal.

In addition, sedentary activities can easily lead to obesity, elevated blood lipid and blood sugar.

Let's take a look at "standing for a long time"

One of Dr. Xu's colleagues, a cardiac surgeon, stood for too long one day and developed venous thrombosis in the left lower extremity after operation. The risk of venous thrombosis in lower limbs, as mentioned earlier, is the possibility of fatal pulmonary embolism.

standing for a long time can also cause veins like earthworms to appear on the calf, which is varicose veins, and may also cause thrombosis and phlebitis.

To sum up, standing for a long time and sitting for a long time are both harmful. If you have to say which is more harmful, it should be said that sitting for a long time brings more harm.

Pay attention to health, and pay attention to "Dr. Xu of Cardiology"

The answer to the question is that sedentary and long-term fighting are equally harmful.

First of all, sitting for a long time

1. One of the hazards of sitting for a long time is that the spine will bear 15% of the pressure, and the pressure will be even greater if you sit and lean forward. Nowadays, there are not a few students who come to see a doctor with low back pain, but when I was a child, the teacher taught me that "you should hold your chest out and abdomen in a sitting position, and it is forbidden to hunch over". According to medical knowledge, the stress on the lumbar spine is relatively small in this position to avoid chronic lumbar disc.

2. Another hazard of sitting for a long time is hemorrhoids. For hemorrhoids, one theory is that varicose veins and thrombosis, such as long-term sitting, constipation, pregnancy, prostatic hypertrophy, pelvic giant tumor, etc., can all cause obstruction of rectal venous return.

3. There is also a man's pain-prostatitis. Although there are many causes of prostatitis, when patients sit for a long time, the prostate will show congestion, which will induce prostatitis and aggravate the condition of the prostate. At the same time, the prostate is a glandular tissue. When sedentary, it will lead to blocked venous return and poor blood circulation, which will lead to the aggravation of the prostate.

Then fight for a long time

1. First of all, varicose veins of the lower limbs, which have a certain occupation, are the first to bear the brunt, mainly because the same posture is maintained for a long time and rarely changes, blood accumulates in the lower limbs, and the venous valve is destroyed over time, resulting in symptoms of high venous pressure and blood vessels protruding from the skin surface.

2. Another disease is lumbar muscle strain, that is, standing for too long, the back muscles will maintain a tense state for a long time, and the surrounding muscles will be out of balance, and various pains will come as scheduled after instability.

So the crux of the problem lies in the word "long" when standing for a long time or sitting for a long time. Whether standing or sitting, it is not good for health to keep a posture for a long time.

sedentary and standing for a long time are not good for health. The key question is, how long is it? One hour is not a long time, but more than a few hours, continuous, may have adverse consequences.

The hazard of standing for a long time is that it is easy to cause varicose veins of lower limbs, which is more common. Besides, I haven't heard of any serious consequences caused by standing for too long.

But the harm of sedentary seems to be more heard and more serious.

which is more harmful, sedentary or standing for a long time? If PK has to win or lose, I personally think that sedentary is more harmful.

First, sitting for a long time makes the heart and lung function decline. It is easy to understand that people who sit for a long time and don't exercise much have worse heart and lung function than people who exercise regularly. People who exercise for a long time have better cardiopulmonary adaptability, stronger myocardial contractility, stronger lung function and stronger tolerance to hypoxia.

Second, sitting for a long time weakens the gastrointestinal function. If you sit for a long time, the blood circulation will slow down, and the blood circulation of the gastrointestinal tract will also be blocked. Therefore, it will easily lead to the reduction of digestive enzymes and affect the digestion and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract.

Sitting for a long time is also easy to cause blood stasis in pelvic organs, and women are prone to gynecological diseases and men are prone to prostatitis.

Third, sedentary is easy to lead to obesity, which is the initial factor or risk factor of many chronic diseases. For example, obesity is prone to hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, fatty liver, apnea syndrome, etc., and the incidence of various cancers is also relatively increasing.

Fourth, sedentary makes the intervertebral disc load of the spine increase, and it is easy to suffer from intervertebral disc diseases.

Sitting for a long time is not only bad for cervical vertebra, but also bad for lumbar vertebra. When sitting, the endurance of lumbar intervertebral disc increases, and the intervertebral disc is more seriously compressed, which makes it easier to protrude and prolapse. Patients with this kind of disease know that they can't sit for a long time.

Fifth, sedentary can also make muscles degenerate and weak, which is easy to cause osteoporosis, varicose veins and atherosclerosis, which is not good for muscles, bones and arteriovenous vessels.

in order to avoid the harm caused by sedentary and standing for a long time, we still suggest sitting and standing for about an hour before starting to exercise, or doing some small movements such as flexion and extension of lower limbs and hooking and stretching of ankles.

This question may be a topic that everyone inadvertently talked about, and everyone may have their own views on the result of this question. Dr. Zhang will talk about this topic from the perspective of medicine and health. I hope you can understand the health knowledge contained in it.

first, let's talk about sedentary. Sitting for a long time may increase the incidence of obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes. Moreover, friends who have been sedentary for a long time have slow blood flow in their lower limbs and are prone to thrombosis. If the thrombus falls off, it may also cause pulmonary embolism and endanger their lives. In addition, sedentary friends, slow gastrointestinal peristalsis, the incidence of constipation will increase. Therefore, Dr. Zhang believes that sitting is ok, but sitting for a long time is not good for your health, especially for the elderly, and you should increase your activity appropriately.

As for standing for a long time, Dr. Zhang thinks that standing for a long time also has certain hidden dangers to health. For example, standing for a long time may increase the risk of hemorrhoids and varicose veins of lower limbs. This is especially common in rural areas of China, where farmers have been engaged in manual labor for a long time. In cities, nurses and hotel waiters often appear.

Therefore, Dr. Zhang believes that whether standing or sitting, there is no problem, and the key lies in time. Sitting or standing for a long time will be bad for your health. We need to change frequently and increase the amount of exercise appropriately, which will be beneficial to health.

sedentary is more harmful, mainly as follows: 1. Shorten life span, exercise can relax muscles and tendons, make blood smoother, resist natural aging, and generate yang. If you don't exercise for a long time, it will reduce the generation of yang. 2. Injury to the spleen and stomach, the spleen dominates the muscles of limbs, and sitting still for a long time will lead to stagnation of qi. Sitting for a long time can also cause indigestion, constipation and so on. 3. Injury to the cervical spine and poor circulation of qi and blood will lead to the lack of nourishment of the bones in the neck. Thereby suffering from cervical spondylosis.

wouldn't it be best to lie down?

hello, Dr. Zhang, could you tell me whether isosorbide dinitrate sustained-release tablets can be taken twice a day for a long time?

It is dangerous to be unable to stand or sit.
