Instead of vilifying chairs and remonstrating yourself for slouching or not squatting, try to find ways to sit more actively without being inert for too long, squirm shamelessly, and don’t let sitting get in the way of also exercising or otherwise being physically active. Such habits prevent or lessen chronic inflammation that provokes ill health, and it bears repeating that the scary statistics we read about sitting are primarily driven by how much we sit when not at work.
