Sedentary Jobs & the Obesity Crisis
Sedentary Jobs+
Unhealthy Eating Behavior+
Lack of physical activity=
Rise of Obesity, Diabetes, Metabolic syndrome,
Cardiovascular disease & Cancer
The Average American:
-Is sedentary for 60% of their day
-Sits for 6 hours per day, on average (more for those who work at a computer station)
-Sedentary is the norm, exercise is the intervention
![Page 8: Desk-ercise Presentation 2.25.15 - Daily Herald · Wellness Consultant Assurance. Agenda » About Assurance »Speaker »Presentation » Q&A Session »Key Phrase. About Assurance »](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052500/5f1c68da418eef585f42aa02/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Costs of Sedentary Lifestyle
• Sitting for long periods of time is linked to:
– Obesity – Metabolic syndrome — a
cluster of conditions that includes increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels.
– Risk of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer.
• Approximately 20% of private industry jobs today in America require a moderate level of physical effort, compared to 50% five decades ago
• US authorities advise their citizens to do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity each week, or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise. Only about 5% of Americans do this.
• More than one-third of U.S. adults (34.9%) are obese
![Page 9: Desk-ercise Presentation 2.25.15 - Daily Herald · Wellness Consultant Assurance. Agenda » About Assurance »Speaker »Presentation » Q&A Session »Key Phrase. About Assurance »](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052500/5f1c68da418eef585f42aa02/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Costs of Sedentary Lifestyle
• Decrease in bone mineral density• Increased risk of heart disease-
increased blood pressure, decreased diameter of arteries
• Shorter life span- studies in the United States have associated a sedentary lifestyle with risk of early death (independent of risk factors such as smoking, blood pressure, waist circumference)
![Page 10: Desk-ercise Presentation 2.25.15 - Daily Herald · Wellness Consultant Assurance. Agenda » About Assurance »Speaker »Presentation » Q&A Session »Key Phrase. About Assurance »](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052500/5f1c68da418eef585f42aa02/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Why Exercise is Not Enough• Sitting too much is harmful even if you get the
recommended amount of exercise• A study involving over 100,000 US adults
concluded that those who sit for more than 6 hours per day had up to a 40% greater risk of death in the next 15 years than those who sit for less than 3 hours per day (Chris Kreffer, Huntington Post)
• “Active Couch Potato” – can even categorize those who exercise 30mins/5 days per week – If you commute by car to work, have a desk job, and
watch a few hours of TV per night, it is easy to see how you can be sitting for the vast majority of your days

Solutions: Implementing a Healthier Lifestyle at Work
• Basic office ergonomics- bring the science of comfort to work and prevent common workplace injuries
• Little changes in your work routine that make a big difference
• Better nutrition at work • Desk-ercise cardiovascular and strength training
demonstration• Desk-ercise flexibility demonstration
![Page 12: Desk-ercise Presentation 2.25.15 - Daily Herald · Wellness Consultant Assurance. Agenda » About Assurance »Speaker »Presentation » Q&A Session »Key Phrase. About Assurance »](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052500/5f1c68da418eef585f42aa02/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

What is Ergonomics?
• The word "Ergonomics" comes from two Greek words "ergon", meaning work, and "nomos" meaning "laws".
• To put this in simple terms it is basically the science of comfort.
• the branch of engineering science that studies the relation between workers and their environments
![Page 13: Desk-ercise Presentation 2.25.15 - Daily Herald · Wellness Consultant Assurance. Agenda » About Assurance »Speaker »Presentation » Q&A Session »Key Phrase. About Assurance »](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052500/5f1c68da418eef585f42aa02/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Why Office Ergonomics?• A properly set up work station = a healthy, happy, productive
employee• Overuse injuries are felt all day regardless of position such as riding in
a car, sleeping, watching TV and/or working.• Financial cost of an injured employee affects both the employee ie:
reduced income while on medical leave, and increased claims for the employer.
• Increase in Health care costs both for the employee (ie: reduced income when on medical leave) and the employer
• Ergonomic injuries are preventable – most common being Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Repetitive use of wrist, fingers, or hand is constantly used for repetitive motions such as twisting, abnormal bending.
• Office staff spend a majority of their time behind a desk in the same position.
![Page 14: Desk-ercise Presentation 2.25.15 - Daily Herald · Wellness Consultant Assurance. Agenda » About Assurance »Speaker »Presentation » Q&A Session »Key Phrase. About Assurance »](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052500/5f1c68da418eef585f42aa02/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Work Area Comfort• Become familiar with chair adjustments. • Adjust seat height so feet are flat on the floor or
footrest; knees are bent at right angles and thighs are horizontal to floor. Adjust seat pan tilt so hips and tops of thighs are at right angles or greater.
• Arms rest positions –armrests should be out of the way while typing, but may provide support during other activities (i.e. phone use, meetings, etc.).
• Eye to screen distance should be 16-25 inches.• Viewing area of monitor 10-20 degrees below
horizontal eye level.• Take eye breaks – turn focus to 10 feet away for 10
seconds every 10 minutes.• Change of pace – get up and move around every 2
hours; body is built for movement.

15
Keyboard and Mouse• Position elbows at 90 degrees; adjust keyboard in
horizontal line or slightly downward.• Tilt- adjust tilt of keyboard so wrists are straight.• Do not use wrist rests when typing; only while resting.• Use light touch when typing.• Mouse placed close to keyboard.• Smooth Surface edges – stretch hands regularly.

17
Lifestyle Changes at Work
• Nutrition– Large part of the equation when it comes to
maintaining or losing weight and feeling better– Challenges: work events or celebrations offering
unhealthy food choices, restaurant/cafeteria or fast food eating, vending machines, “quick” solutions for a fast-paced working environment
– Processed foods high in fat, sugar, salt most readily available in the work place
![Page 18: Desk-ercise Presentation 2.25.15 - Daily Herald · Wellness Consultant Assurance. Agenda » About Assurance »Speaker »Presentation » Q&A Session »Key Phrase. About Assurance »](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052500/5f1c68da418eef585f42aa02/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Nutrition
Calories in > calories out = weight gainCalories in < calories out = weight lossCalories in = calories out = weight control
Calories In vs. Calories Out

How do you lose one pound?
– Calorie deficit of 3500 total calories
– Combination of exercise and diet is best• Creates balance• No extremes of under eating or over exercising
– 500 Calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories– 250cals from food– 250cals from exercise
Nutrition and Weight Management
![Page 20: Desk-ercise Presentation 2.25.15 - Daily Herald · Wellness Consultant Assurance. Agenda » About Assurance »Speaker »Presentation » Q&A Session »Key Phrase. About Assurance »](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052500/5f1c68da418eef585f42aa02/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Nutrition Basics
Fats - No more than 30% of your diet
Carbohydrates – 45-65% of your diet
Proteins – 15-30% of your diet
![Page 21: Desk-ercise Presentation 2.25.15 - Daily Herald · Wellness Consultant Assurance. Agenda » About Assurance »Speaker »Presentation » Q&A Session »Key Phrase. About Assurance »](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052500/5f1c68da418eef585f42aa02/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Nutrition- Healthy Choices for the Workplace
• Fat– Unsaturated fats: avocado, unsalted nuts
• Protein– Choose more lean means and vegetable proteins,
less red meat (contains saturated fat)– Chicken, fish, lentils, beans
• Carbs – Cutting carbs is NOT a safe diet plan, your body
needs carbohydrates for energy. – Choose fruits, veggies, 100% whole wheat products– TIP: choose products that are also high in fiber
![Page 22: Desk-ercise Presentation 2.25.15 - Daily Herald · Wellness Consultant Assurance. Agenda » About Assurance »Speaker »Presentation » Q&A Session »Key Phrase. About Assurance »](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052500/5f1c68da418eef585f42aa02/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
• Be prepared- keep healthy snacks at work to more easily avoid temptation
• Pack meals ahead of time, keep in the refrigerator at work
• Restaurant/Cafeteria eating– Look for words: baked, broiled, grilled, poached,
roasted, steamed, stir-fried– Avoid: rich, creamy, fried, battered– Pass on “extras” or “loaded” and ask for sauces or
dressings on the side – Look at menu options ahead of time, have a “game
plan”
