The longer you sit, the shorter your life
The more you sit around, the shorter your average life span is, according to a new study. The effect remained even after researchers factored out obesity or the level of daily physical activity people were engaged in, according to a study of more than 120,000 American adults.
We already kind of knew this anyway, but it’s always good to be reminded to get up and do something. Several studies have found a link between sitting time and obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease risk, and unhealthy diets in children, but until now few had examined sitting and “total mortality,”.
