Sitting for a long time hurts the waist and kidneys. What if you don't have time to exercise?
Computers and the Internet not only bring convenience to people, but also take up more time. Many people sit in the office at work, surf in front of the computer during entertainment, watch movies and play games on the computer in their spare time ... Therefore, more and more people stay indoors all day and sit for a long time. But in fact, long-term "close contact" with stool will also bring a series of health problems. As we all know, sitting for a long time will do harm to the lumbar spine, among which lumbar disc herniation is the most common. According to the Health Times, lumbar disc herniation is a very common traumatology disease, which generally manifests as low back pain and lower limb pain, which will seriously affect people's work and life. Many people will become restless overnight after getting lumbar disc herniation, and even feel unbearable pain when lying down.

In different positions, people's lumbar intervertebral discs bear different pressures. Comparatively speaking, when people lie on their backs, the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc is the least; Stress will increase when standing; When sitting upright, the pressure will further increase, and the pressure at this time is generally four times that when lying flat; When sitting hunchbacked, the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc is greater than that when sitting straight. So sedentary will increase the internal pressure of lumbar intervertebral disc. Sedentary accumulation to a certain extent, it will lead to disc herniation, low back and leg pain, and even oppression of ponytail, dysuria.

Yang Baolin, deputy chief physician of the emergency department of Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said in an interview with Life Times that the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic said that "prolonged lying hurts qi and sedentary hurts the kidney", because the brain is a marrow sea, and sedentary kidney will lead to the obstruction of qi and blood meridians, slow excretion of metabolites, and easy to produce symptoms such as waist swelling, soreness and numbness.

For office workers who focus on mental work, if they continue to use their brains nervously, they will add fuel to the fire for these symptoms, making people feel tired and have unbearable low back pain. This kind of pain usually can't find a fixed point, but the general and persistent pain will make people feel sore. It needs to be pressed by hand and applied with hot things to relieve it. This is caused by kidney deficiency and is the characteristic of deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine.
