Why would I take a work break every 20 minutes?

Dr. Amanda talks about the importance of getting up and moving around while we are working during our day. When we sit down to start our work day, our brain and body are interconnected and aware that we are sitting. But if we sit too long without moving, that communication between the two becomes lost.  When this happens, our body’s posture and alignment become compromised, which can cause all kinds of problems. In order to make sure our brain and body stay connected and keep our posture from deteriorating throughout the day, Dr. Amanda suggests that we simply stand up and sit back down once every 20 minutes.
