Standing problem http://www.hazards.org/standing/

Millions of UK workers spend most of the working day on their feet. Hazards editor Rory O’Neill warns there are serious health reasons why they shouldn’t stand for it.



This are not Standing problems!!

This are:

Women wearing high heels that constrain blood circulation(because "small shoes with peak shape are so beautiful") AND standing on then, putting all weight on toes as is not natural to do. http://www.hazards.org/standing/standingproblem.pdf

Natural feet(from a person that had lived all their life barefoot) have not the shape we are used to because shoes reshape it, creating bunions that do not exist on the people that grew their feet barefoot.

With heels on your shoes you divert your weight to places where the body is not prepared to handle it, creating knees and ankles wear and problems. Also the upper part of the body has to compensate the balance from this artificial diversion creating bad postures that bend the back on unnatural ways.

If you are interested, sitting down have a lot of hazards too.


Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Everything in moderation, I guess. Also, nice username.
