"The Deadly Impact of a Sedentary Lifestyle: Understanding and Overcoming the Risks"

A study by the University of California, San Diego suggests that prolonged sitting can lead to a 57% higher risk of early death, even with moderate-to-vigorous exercise. Sitting for over 30 minutes at a time can increase blood sugar levels and blood pressure, and some suggest that sitting for 11 or seven hours per day is too much. To combat this, using a sit-stand desk, taking breaks during TV ads or household tasks, and incorporating small bursts of arm exercise can help reduce the health risks associated with prolonged sitting.
