There are so many benefits to sitting less and moving more

Did you know that simply standing for more than 4 hours a day leads to weight loss, better posture, better heart function, increased focus, and a stronger immune system?

It’s really simple, if you stand and move around during the day, you have a lower risk of early death than if you sit at a desk.  That’s a pretty bleak fact, but it’s true.

Sitting for long hours in the short term causes tightness in the hips, neck, and shoulders.  You will end up with lower back pain and eventually disk problems, and neck and shoulder tension which leads to things like carpal tunnel and chronic inflammation.  Sitting also puts our body in a position that doesn’t allow us to breathe properly.

Have you heard the phrase “Sitting is the new smoking”?

Long periods of inactivity reduce your metabolism and impair your body’s ability to control blood sugar levels and regulate blood pressure.  This means weight gain and high blood pressure.

For a healthy life, you need 60–75 minutes per day of moderate-intensity activity to combat the dangers of excessive sitting.  And even if you exercise but spend a large amount of time sitting, you are still risking health problems, such as metabolic syndrome.

Research shows that sitting for more than 4 hours a day dramatically increases your risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Luckily it’s not all doom and gloom.  As soon as you make the decision to move more and sit less, you will instantly be so much healthier and on the road to feeling stronger, more flexible, and have less pain and more energy.
