How Desk Jobs Ruin Your Health

Muscles and Bones

Constant slouching combined with lack of physical activity can make your body’s muscles weak and flabby. Most affected are your abdominal and gluteal muscles. But muscles aren’t the only thing that suffer during a sedentary lifestyle. Another possible consequence of sitting behind a desk over time is osteoporosis. While bones don’t actually have much difficulty holding the body in a seated position, they can lose strength over time, becoming more porous and fragile.
