Sometimes I sit on the sofa and feel my body is very relaxed. However, at this time, the lumbar spine is curved and bears greater pressure, which can easily cause lower back pain, and even lead to intervertebral disc herniation in severe cases. Liu Canhong, director of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Lishuanghe Hospital in Taiwan, recommends that everyone keep in mind the principle of "four electricity is less than two", that is, the time spent sitting watching TV, playing with computers, mobile phones and tablets should be less than 2 hours a day.
