But, just a few of us know that working smart starts with something that is as simple as sitting right. Here are seven tips that will help you sit right:-<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reduce the screen glare<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Start off by adjusting the tilt of your monitor to reduce the glare on your computer screen. Just make sure your screen is at least 50 centimetres away from your eyes and position the monitor in such a way that you\u2019re looking at it at a slight downward tilt.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Give your eyes a break<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Take an eye break every 40 minutes; make sure you look away from the screen for at least 3-5 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Relax your shoulders<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Don\u2019t strain or weigh down your shoulders while sitting. Keep them relaxed and you\u2019ll see a big difference.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get your posture right<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Good posture while sitting means that the angle between your trunk and thighs is 90-120 degrees.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1765 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Good-Posture-Seating.jpg\" alt=\"good-posture-seating\" width=\"800\" height=\"647\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/647;\" \/><strong>Elbows angles are important<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Your elbows should form a 90-120 degree angle when using the keyboard. Anything more or less will add undue pressure on them. Keeping the mouse close to the keyboard will help you maintain the right angle.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Stop the twist<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Make sure you place all those important documents close to you. Turning around while sitting at your desk is not good for your spine.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Stay grounded<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Keep both your feet firmly on the ground at all times. It reduces the pressure on your lower back.<\/p>\n<p>Powered by Healthcaremagic.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surely you\u2019ve heard the term &#8211; Work Smart &#8211; thrown around the workplace all too&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1797,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-and-fitness"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sit Smart, Work Smart - Active Together by Aditya Birla Health Insurance<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Your posture at work determines how much stress your body feels.
