How would you know if you are sitting too much in a day’s work? Try this: are you sitting for about six hours in front of your computer? If you do, you are sitting too much!
Your risk of developing chronic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, depression, cardio vascular diseases, is high. Cancer of the colon is also a health threat. The American Cancer Society has warned that sitting too much lowers life expectancy by 20 to 40 % for both men and women. And exercise to offset the damage of sitting too much may not help.
But these work: Reduce the number of your sitting hours, and use an ergonomic work station with a sit-or-stand feature.
