What harm does squatting do to the body for a long time?
Keeping any posture for too long is harmful to health, and so is squatting. When squatting, some people are used to leaning forward, which will lead to excessive pressure on the waist, which will not only hurt the lumbar muscles, but also hurt the lumbar vertebrae. From the physiological point of view, although squatting posture is beneficial to defecation, it is also easy to lead to an increase in blood pressure, and people with chronic diseases such as "three highs" will face safety risks.

People who choose squat exercise are equally harmful if they use the wrong method. For example, squatting and standing is a big taboo for the elderly, because it will lead to large fluctuations in blood pressure and easily lead to accidents. If the elderly insist on squat exercise, it may also cause knee joint injury. Because the knee bends when squatting, the load increases, and squatting for a long time or frequently will wear the knee, causing knee pain and even developing osteoarthritis.

In addition, twisting the waist when getting up after a long squat is also common in clinic. People with knee, hip and ankle injuries or lumbar disc herniation and low back pain are prone to this problem. To this end, orthopedic surgeons suggest that such patients should not bend over directly when picking up things, but should keep their upper body upright, bend one knee and squat down to pick up.
