Have a seat - if you want to die sooner
-
A study published in the Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise journal puts forth a central point I really didn't want to know: That sitting is bad for you. Yes, sitting. And even more damning, it's still bad for you even if you break it up with exercise.
As The Times reports,
...To no one's surprise, the men who sat the most had the greatest risk of heart problems. Men who spent more than 23 hours a week watching TV and sitting in their cars (as passengers or as drivers) had a 64 percent greater chance of dying from heart disease than those who sat for 11 hours a week or less.
What was unexpected was that many of the men who sat long hours and developed heart problems also exercised. Quite a few of them said they did so regularly and led active lifestyles. The men worked out, then sat in cars and in front of televisions for hours, and their risk of heart disease soared, despite the exercise. Their workouts did not counteract the ill effects of sitting.
Maybe it's just that we're not meant to sit for 8 hours a day in an office. (Try telling that to our bosses, let's see what they say.)via Core77
23 hours a week works out to just 3 hours a day of being on our lardy arses. Maybe we should have standing desks or something. Or perhaps we were meant to stand, walk around and lie down... notice how we tend to develop bad postures (in spite of our chairs) and tired feet. So what does it mean to you?

I think we are all farked .... >.<

Sitting have its side effects.

So is standing.
lol
I am waiting for a survey report on :-
40% time standing and 60% time sitting= bad for health. Somewhere just below ur joint, the acedemia psyloroxis will cause the stimulus punkreasitis to give out more xychlrodiemooprhines.
And that is BAD.

No... sleep too much n in the same position is not good.
So u need to set ur time. every 15 minutes the timer goes off, u stand, then u sit.. then u lie down. Constantly.. anywhere and everywhere u are.
*imagines how comical its going to be if its like compulsory and everyone does so n ever 15 minutes someone drops to the floor..suddenly stand.. or sit.*

This cannot, that cannot...... If it's time to go, it's time to go. At least we've done this or that before and not lived in vain.
