The scientists found that short-term charging several times a day can help health.
With long-term fixed seat occurs slowing the flow of blood to the brain. This fact was established in the John Moores University, the Liverpool graduate student Sophie Carter and her group. «Applied Physiology» magazine published an article with the results. Such a change in blood flow could have a negative impact on mental ability and increase the risk of diseases like Alzheimer's disease.
During the study, researchers observed the behavior of fifteen office workers. All of them were equipped with ultrasonic sensors to monitor changes in blood flow. The first four hours volunteers spent sitting motionless with the exception of visiting the restroom. The second part of the experiment included walking on a treadmill for 2 minutes every 30 minutes. And in the latest version people were asked to walk 8 minutes after two hours of sitting.
Blood flow significantly increased during frequent circulations and decreased in 1 and 3 parts of the study.
Graduate student to draw a conclusion that the results found a positive effect of the regular part of chargers to increase blood flow to the human brain. PhD Dr. Ignatenko confirmed the correctness of the findings of British researchers.
