Move To Live

According to research, those who spend more time sitting and being sedentary as compared with those who are active and moving around are more likely to die from any cause. Data from the study also indicates that this holds true even for those individuals who obtain adequate amounts of exercise. It appears that even for those who exercise regularly, sitting or reclining excessively on a regular basis is simply bad for your health. In evaluating more than 200,000 adults aged 45 and older, those who reported sitting for 11 or more hours per day were 40 percent more likely to die during the study than those sitting less than 4 hours per day. Walking and moving around removes blood glucose and fats circulating in the blood stream whereas sitting is far less effective at accomplishing this. Researchers recommend frequent "get up and move around" breaks throughout the day for those who must sit for long periods of time, especially those working a desk job. In other words, move to live!
