In addition to regular exercise，office workers need to keep moving while they work，by making regular trips to the printer，coffee machine or to chat with workmates.Elin EkblomBak，an expert on health，says research shows long periods of sitting and lack

53、sage. Take a coffee break or put the printer in the next room. I am a desk worker and I try to do it. It is not difficult but sometimes you get lost in your work and you forget about it.”However，more studies are needed to confirm the ill effects of sitting for too long and ways of fighting them. But
