TEMPERING SEDENTARY DESK / COMPUTER JOB (from Ayurveda, Greek & Chinese Medicine)

"Sitting is the new smoking, " exclaims Scott Blossom in this unique interview with Joyful Belly Ayurveda.

Circulation

Sitting in a chair for long periods can cause lymphatic congestion and sluggish circulation, which leads to inflammation. Throughout the day, your organs depend on good circulation to stay fresh and clean. A sedentary lifestyle means that your organs aren't getting cleaned properly. "Sitting is the new smoking," exclaims Scott Blossom in a unique interview with Joyful Belly.

It's important to start your day right to prepare for your workday. Exercise in morning after getting out of bed, before working. Circulation is already stagnant after a long night of sleeping. It is best to resolve this stagnation before beginning your workday, so the problem does not compound.

Also take ten minutes for mild exercise before lunch, and at the end of workday, such as a brief walk. Try the following routine every hour during your workday:

The following herbs can also improve circulation during the workday:

Stress

Stress tends to build up throughout the workday. People tend to think they can get more done than they actually can. Stress is an active overstimulated state. If you are sitting, the activity is never discharged and irritates the nervous system, causing a Vata imbalance.

Posture

If you work for long hours in a chair, consider the ideal seating posture:

Eye Strain

Staring at a computer screen for long periods of time strains your eye muscles, because they must hold your eye in a precise, fixed position. Also, staring at a computer screen, a fixed distance from your eye, doesn't flex your eye lens enough. The result is that your eye lens may lose elasticity, and you may lose long range focus ability. The following eye exercises can help:

AVOID ACCUMULATION IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0

SEDENTARY DESK / COMPUTER JOB IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE 0 - POTENTIAL CAUSE

Potential causes increase and disturb your imbalanced doshas and biocharacteristics, causing them to accumulate and spiral out of control. For example, if you're overheated and eat a chili pepper, heat may become excessive and cause disease. As a dosha or biocharacteristic accumulates in your body according to your dietary and lifestyle habits, it is more and more likely to cause disease. You can reduce an imbalanced dosha or biocharacteristic in two ways, by removing, or lessening the frequency of aggravating causes from your diet and lifestyle, as well as by favoring balancing diet and lifestyle practices. For example, try eating something as cool as a cucumber when you're overheated, instead of a chili pepper. (See all disease stages on JB)

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharacteristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
