Today, most of us spend a lot of our time in a seated position. We sit in our cars, on public transit, at work, during meals, while watching TV, while using the computer, while reading books and while playing games. Unfortunately, all of this sitting is putting our health at risk. Sitting for long periods of time is associated with a higher risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and many other illnesses. While many of us try to compensate for our highly sedentary lifestyles by working out periodically, a recent study from the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, suggest that even 30-60 minutes of daily exercise isn’t enough to offset the risks associated with all this sitting. While further research is needed to determine just how much physical activity is needed, there are some simple things you can do today to cut down the amount of time you spend sitting down.
There’s no denying that most of us spend a high percentage of our time sitting down and that this poses a significant risk to our long-term health. Even though it now seems that just doing 30-60 minutes of exercise may not be enough, the good news is that simple changes to our daily routine can help. While each of these changes may seem insignificant, it’s important to remember that small changes, when taken together, can add up to a big difference.
