At the sight of "Emma" there is a desire to carry out five-minute physical education as often as possible.
British scientists, led by behavior expert William Hyam, decided to show what a person who has worked in an office for 20 years would look like. They took a model of a person and made an "Emma" out of it. So they decided to show how long sitting in the office at the computer changes the body. Red eyes and stooped back are still flowers.
"Emma" had a hump on her back from being constantly at the monitor. I have problems with my legs. When a person sits motionless, the work of the vessels on the legs is disrupted, so the scientists "awarded" Emma with varicose veins. But she's in the office, you can't be in slippers, so Emma wears shoes, aggravating the situation.
Hump, red eyes, and leg problems are all from prolonged sitting at the monitor.
From poor blood circulation, the unfortunate woman grew a stomach. Snacks at work also affected. In London they know a lot about tea drinking, in Russia at work it is also a special ritual.
- She has pale skin due to lack of sunlight, - quotes the words of Hyam, The Metro. - Hairy ears and nose due to poor air quality and eczema caused by stress. In this world, nose hair has evolved to filter out pollution.
Scientists warn that if you do not want to turn into a person like Emma, then you need to take care of your health right now: five-minute exercises, walking in between work, the British advise moving tables, but in Russia there are not many companies where they will be glad to hourly rearrangement of tables in the office.
Scientists have created a model in human height to assess * perspectives *.
