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

Originally Published 1 year ago — by New York Post

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.

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

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Geo News

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.
