Sit on the floor 🧘♀️🪑
OK, it may not be as comfy as your super-squashy sofa, but according to studies of the world's longest-living populations, sitting on the floor can help us stay healthier for longer. 💪🌍
For example, in Okinawa in Japan, home to the longest-living women in the world, most sitting, whether to read, eat or talk, is done on the floor. 🇯🇵👵 The reason it’s so beneficial? Repeatedly standing from a seated position on the floor is good for flexibility, strength, and coordination, which are all known to have favorable influences on life expectancy. 🌟🦵
So next time, give your sofa a break and try sitting on the floor. It might just contribute to your overall health and well-being in the long run. 😁
