EMF5.9How Sitting All Day is Slowly Killing You

Numerous studies over the years have linked too much sitting to a greater risk of obesity, higher blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels or even ultimately premature death due to stroke, cardiovascular disease or certain types of cancer. One message is clear: movement is the key. Experts at Cornell suggest getting up and moving every 20 to 30 minutes. It can be as simple as getting up and walking around for a few minutes. But the key here is getting your muscles working and getting that blood flowing. 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week has been shown to reduce your overall mortality rate by 7%. You know, if you're sitting all day, it's going to be bad for your heart, it's bad for your brain, it's bad for your arteries, it's bad for your overall health. It will make you die sooner.
