New research shows that sitting at work is killing you. Get active while working and improve your creativity, productivity and health.
Recent and thorough research done in Australia in 2013 has reinforced earlier research… and it is very bad news for most of us.
If you sit for more than 4 hours a day, you’re at a much higher risk for chronic disease and death.
And what’s scary about it is that it doesn’t matter how much you exercise outside of those 4, 6, 8 hours of sitting.
“This is the one piece of bad news you shouldn’t sit down for: Sitting for hours on end, every day, is bad for your health. Sitting at work is bad for you. Sitting after work is bad for you. Sitting is the new smoking, except that the furniture lobby probably isn’t as powerful as the tobacco one.”
