Sit At Work? Your Health Is At Risk!

Tired of sitting at that desk all day long?

Turns out it’s not good for your health, either, according to a new study published in JAMA Network Open.

People who predominantly sit at work have a 34% higher risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease.

To counteract the increased risk, individuals who sit a lot at work would have to engage in an additional 15 to 30 minutes of physical activity per day.

The simplest form of exercise is uninterrupted walking.

This would reduce the risk to that of individuals who do not predominantly sit, researchers estimated. (CNN)

Do this simple form of exercise!

If not today, when?
