How do you rate this product? Summary of Your Review*There are myriad benefits to spending time outdoors, and these can be quantified both physiologically as well as emotionally. Unless you live in a busy city, it's likely that the indoor air quality (abbreviated as IAQ by the Environmental Protection Agency) to which you are regularly exposed is inferior to the cleaner, fresher air you'll find outside.
Thus the more time you spend outdoors, the better for your pulmonary and cardiovascular health. Fresh air not only cleans your lungs, but improves circulation and helps optimize your heart rate. While too much exposure to sunlight is a serious health hazard, getting too little exposure to sunshine also has negative impacts on your health. Your skin is naturally disposed to produce healthy, beneficial vitamin D when exposed to direct sunlight; as little as 15 to 20 minutes of daily sun exposure is sufficient for the fair skinned person to produce their daily quota of vitamin D, while darker skinned individuals should try for longer exposure. And it is clinically proven that insufficient exposure to natural light can have a severe impact on a human's happiness and sense of well-being. Especially in those prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, going outside can make a difference between satisfaction in life and depression. Getting plenty of exercise is important to a healthy lifestyle, but many of the benefits the outdoors has to offer can be enjoyed even without the need for a hike, a jog, or a bike ride.
Even if you can alter your routine in the littlest ways, such as by reading the morning paper or checking your emails on the patio instead of on the couch, you will do yourself good in both mind and body. In order to help encourage yourself to spend more time outdoors, create an outdoor space you will find comfortable and inviting. This means elements to help keep pesky insects at bay in the summer and a heat source in the winter. It means the option for relaxing in the sunshine and in the shade when you've taken in enough rays. And, arguably above all else, it means making sure you have a comfortable place to sit and relax. This is where zero gravity chairs come into play. A zero gravity chair is a specialized recliner that elevates the legs to approximately the same level as the chest. It allows the sitter to assume a gently curved supine position that minimizes the pressure placed on the spine, especially reducing the pressure exerted on the lower back's lumbar region, which tends to be the locus of back pain for most who suffer from the affliction.
Zero gravity chairs are comfortable for people of all ages, fitness levels, and health conditions, but they are an exceptionally good seating choice for older, infirm individuals or for those who suffer from back or spine issues. This is true whether the pain is chronic or acute, brought on by anything from injury to surgery to the aging process. By minimizing the pressure put on the body through this ideal curvature and recline angle, a zero gravity chair does the best possible job of relieving physical stresses, and that can in turn help alleviate emotional distress as well. The simple act of sitting down (or practically lying down, as the case is with these chairs) for a few moments spent in total comfort can do wonders for the psyche. Pairing this physical comfort with the benefits of the outdoors only increases the physiological and emotional benefits you can reap. While many chairs that allow a sitter to assume the zero gravity position are decidedly designed for indoor use (the Herman-Miller Eames Chair comes readily to mind for many), there are plenty of zero gravity recliners that are specifically designed to be used outside.
And just such a chair might be the element missing as you relax on the deck, fish from the pier, or enjoy your poolside patio. When selecting an outdoor zero gravity chair, you will want to first consider your needs. For the larger adult, it's important to select a chair that can support his or her weight and size. Most zero gravity chairs can support up to three hundred pounds, but some are too short for proper enjoyment by taller people, for example. And you need to be seated comfortably not only to enjoy the benefits of these chairs, but to avoid actually creating an issue. Price will also be an important consideration, as the range of zero gravity chair prices starts near fifty dollars and soars as high as two hundred and fifty, and beyond. The more expensive chairs will last much longer, though, so think of their expense as an investment. Beyond the basics of size and price, consider the extras that come with various zero gravity chairs. Some feature pillows that can be used to cradle the head or which can be lowered for additional lumbar support.
