Sitting Can Be Hazardous To Your Health

Sitting is considered the new smoking. It can be hazardous to your health.

It is especially important to keep active as we grow older and to avoid sitting for long periods of timeA recent study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine shows that sitting less often and standing for longer periods of time is an excellent anti-aging technique.  Spending more time on two feet protects DNA.

A Swedish study showed that people spend more time exercising, but they are also sitting for longer periods. It seems that this is a new health hazard of our times.

The time that people spend standing helps to increase their life span.

People with age esteem know that it is important to remain active and to nurture activities that necessitate movement even if that movement may be limited in scope.
