Anti-sitting device

The invention relates to a technical field for preventing a reminder device for sitting for a long time, in particular, a user can be reminded to generate a warning state when the user continues to sit for a long time, and forcibly leaves the user. You can sit down again after a rest or exercise for a period of time to prevent users from sedentary devices that endanger their health by sitting for a long time.

Due to the convenience of modern technology and the improvement of the quality of life, office workers can handle anything in the office, so the time spent in the office often accounts for most of the normal life. According to academic research scholars at the University of Queensland, the average person spends more than three hours sitting in front of the table one day, and that 25% of the respondents spend more than six hours sitting at the table one day. People who sit for long periods of time, on the other hand, have a higher risk of having overweight and obesity, with a probability of up to 68%. Because sitting at the desk for a long time or keeping the same position in front of the computer, it is easy to let the body's fat accumulate on the buttocks because there is no exercise. After a period of time, the body's fat will increase year by year, which is easy to cause cardiovascular disease. Such as heart disease, hypertensive disease, diabetes, etc., it is easy to cause the vertebral disc to protrude backwards and cause sciatica, or may lead to overweight body shape and lead to insufficient self-confidence. Moreover, even if a thin and thin person sits at a desk or in front of a computer for a long time, the body will still hoard a lot of fat, and its fat rate will of course be high, so-called "hidden obesity", so no matter how tall or short Slim should pay attention to this phenomenon.

In view of the above, the inventors have intensively conceived the above-mentioned problems, and actively researched and improved the trial and development to design the present invention.
