Hidden Daily Habits That Increase Heart Disease Risk
Prolonged sitting for more than 10.6 hours a day significantly increases the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular mortality, even for those with healthy diets and exercise routines. Cardiologists emphasize the importance of incorporating regular movement and NEAT activities throughout the day to mitigate these risks, as sitting leads to decreased nitric oxide, increased inflammation, and metabolic slowdown, all contributing to heart disease.
