About PostureKeep
PostureKeep is a research-based online tool designed to help you prevent the health risks associated with prolonged sitting and maintain better posture during work hours. Our smart timer system provides gentle reminders to move, stretch, and maintain proper posture throughout your workday.
Health Risks of Prolonged Sitting
Musculoskeletal Issues
Extended sitting can lead to chronic back pain, neck strain, and poor posture. Studies show that office workers spend an average of 10 hours sitting daily, increasing the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders by 60%.
Cardiovascular Risks
Sitting for more than 8 hours a day without regular movement can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases by up to 147%. Regular breaks and movement help maintain healthy blood circulation.
Metabolic Health
Prolonged sitting slows metabolism and affects insulin sensitivity, potentially leading to weight gain and increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Even brief movement breaks can help maintain metabolic health.
Mental Well-being
Extended periods of sitting can impact mental alertness and contribute to stress and anxiety. Regular breaks help maintain cognitive function and improve mood throughout the workday.
Prevention Strategies
Follow the 20-20-20 Rule
Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away to reduce eye strain and promote movement.
Proper Ergonomic Setup
Maintain screen at eye level, keep feet flat on the floor, and ensure your chair supports your lower back.
Movement Breaks
Take a 2-5 minute walking break every hour to improve circulation and reduce the negative effects of prolonged sitting.
Desk Exercises
Perform simple stretches and exercises during breaks to maintain muscle activity and prevent stiffness.
