Many types of work can be done while sitting. Including writers who often post articles on “gang blogs” Kompasiana.

Yes, writing can be called work, but it can also be just a hobby, depending on which way we look at it. Or, let’s say a hobby that has the potential to bring in money.

As is known, the manager Kompasiana provide profits in the form of K Reward every month with a number of predetermined criteria.

The problem is, when someone writes, of course they do it while sitting. It feels very difficult to write while lying down, standing up, especially while running.

So, the next problem is, when a writer is sitting, they often forget to stand up, so the time they spend sitting becomes very long.

Did you know that those who often sit for long periods, both writers and office workers and other professions who work while sitting, are prone to the following 5 diseases?

First, causing problems with back and hip pain or other things related to body posture. The legs also have the potential to become weak.

Other parts of the body that are often problematic due to sitting for a long time are the shoulders and neck which easily become stiff. Maybe in our everyday language it is often called aches and pains.

Second, blood clots occur. Sitting too much causes poor blood flow or circulation. If left unchecked, the consequences can be fatal.

In addition, blood that pools or accumulates in the legs can cause varicose veins, a disease that should not be taken lightly.
