"Standing Up to Lower Blood Pressure: The Impact of Sitting Time on Your Health"

A new study suggests that reducing daily sitting time by just 30 minutes can significantly lower blood pressure in older adults. The research, published in JAMA Open Network, observed 283 participants aged 60 to 89 and found that those who received reminders to break up sitting time experienced a drop in blood pressure. The intervention group, which received health coaching and tools to reduce sitting, reduced their sedentary time by an average of 32 minutes daily, leading to improved cardiovascular health.
