Women’s Issue:
According to AARP, you’ll live longer if you stop sitting so much. Supposedly, sitting for long periods increases the risks of obesity, diabetes, cancer, and early death even for people who exercise daily. It seems that prolonged sitting disrupts processes that break down fats and sugars in the blood.
Statistics show that Americans spend an average 10 hours a day sitting in a car, at work, and in front of televisions. Older adults are the worst offenders. It is suggested that if you stop sitting five minutes out of every hour, at the end of a long day, you will have shaved off an hour of your sitting time. If you watch a lot of TV, you should stand up to use the remote and go the kitchen or something during commercials. Here are a few other ideas for reducing your sitting time: deliver messages to colleagues in person rather than email, set your computer to tell you to stand and stretch every 30 minutes, stand up when talking on the phone, get our of your chair and stand to read your book, at least part of the time, walk instead of always driving, and get out and walk around every hour when you’re driving on a long trip. The best thing is just to be aware that sitting too much really isn’t good for you.
