In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, it’s not uncommon for people to spend the majority of their waking hours seated in front of screens. Whether it’s working at a desk, attending virtual meetings, binge-watching TV shows, or scrolling through social media, the average person is logging an astonishing 12 to 14 hours of screen time each day.
While the digital age has brought incredible advancements and conveniences, it has also given rise to a silent health epidemic that threatens our well-being.

Unfortunately, for many, this has become the norm, particularly in the context of work. Modern jobs often demand long hours at a desk, tethered to a computer, and this sedentary work lifestyle is taking a toll on our health.
