Don’t Sit Up Straight

Ever wonder why bosses pickup the habit of leaning back on his cozy-leather chair? Because they work extra long hours and it feels good.

This article isn’t actually new. I got this way back in 2006, so I thought I might share it with you.

Dont Sit Up Right

Sitting up straight is not the best position for office workers, a study has suggested.

Scottish and Canadian researchers used a new form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to show it places an unnecessary strain on your back.

They told the Radiological Society of North America that the best position in which to sit at your desk is leaning slightly back, at about 135 degrees.  [Source]

Lucky me, I can lie in bed while working (often doze off).

ps: Eddie, WORK! Don’t fool around!

pss: IJN mandated to Sime Darby. Good move?

Hohoho :grin:

Its just that when u sit straight and bring closer your stuffs (less than 30 cm in distance), it will hurt your shoulder. Then the pain irradiates downwards to your back. That what we normally do. Being too nerdy, kan? Hehe.

I bet NH would laugh reading my lines.
And he knows why :wink:

Not for me. Even now IJN cost u RM ribu-ribu*, kalau swasta, maka ramailah yang bedah sendiri kot sbb tak mampu nak bayar.. :down:

aku cadangkn posisi ke 4. Tarik monitor gi bawah meje, pastu ko meniarap. Tp jgn dekat sgt, nanti rabun.

Agak2 dah lenguh, ngiringkan badan. Jgn lupe ngiringkan sekali monitor.
