35、en it comes to sitting properly, we all know the correct way even if we don t do it to the letter. No crossed legs, bottoms touching the back of the chair and feet on the ground. But even if you re doing it right, sitting for long periods is shockingly bad for you. It has been described as the new s

36、moking, linked to heart disease and even cancer. There is no doubt we should all try to do less of it. But perhaps we could also do it better.A classic survey, published in 1953, described 100 different sitting postures adopted by 480 cultures around the world. Among the most common were sitting cro

37、ss-legged, kneeling and the deep squat (深蹲), with feet flat on the ground and bottoms resting on or just above it.
