How to stay healthy

While working on a computer it is important for the seat to divide the
body mass equally across the area. It is necessary for the chair to be
able to turn around the center, and to change an angle of the back and
seat. Also, the distance from the back of the chair and the front of
the seat should be appropriate. An upholstery should be made of
natural, durable materials, that feel comfortable. The ideal height of
the seat is one that lets feet completely reach floor while an angle of
the knees is about 90 degrees. It is important for the front of the
seat to have rounded down shape. This prevents pressure on a blood
vessels, and does not stop blood circulation. The back of the seat
should have curved form, that supports the shape of the spine. The
angle between back of the chair and the seat should be slightly wider
then 90 degrees.
