"Combatting the Health Risks of Prolonged Sitting: Expert-Recommended Strategies"

Recent research confirms that prolonged sitting is detrimental to health, with increased risks of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Experts recommend incorporating movement throughout the day, such as taking short walks or doing desk exercises, to counteract the negative effects of sitting. Setting step count goals and using tools like walking treadmills can also help increase daily movement. It's important to be both an exerciser and a mover throughout the day, as exercise alone may not be enough to offset the health risks associated with prolonged sitting.
