Sitting for long periods of time is linked to a range of negative health outcomes, including obesity and cardiovascular disease. In fact, research has shown that individuals who sit for extended periods have a higher risk of dying from these conditions compared to those who are more active But why is sitting so harmful? It turns out that when we sit, our bodies burn fewer calories and our metabolism slows down. This can lead to weight gain and increase the risk of developing conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, just to name a few. So, what can we do to combat the negative effects of sitting? Here are a few tips: * Stand up and move around regularly throughout the day * Do desk workouts to help increase your blood flow * Stretch!
