Sitting For Long Stretches!
According to yet another study… sitting for long stretches of time (6 hours in this study) only serves to shorten the average life span.
The study found people seemed more likely to die of heart disease than cancer, with women who spent six hours a day sitting having a 37% increased risk of dying, compared to those who sat for less than three hours a day. The increased risk for men was 17%.
The bottom line: don’t just sit and stagnate for long periods of time throughout the day – MOVE!
Get up and move throughout the day! (e.g., walk the floor, take the stairs, do some pushups or jumping jacks, etc.)
