THE SEEMINGLY BENIGN ACTIVITY OF SITTING DOWN TOO MUCH CAN BE HARMFUL TO OUR HEALTH

Many of us spend no less than 6 or more hours sitting down each and every day, at work, when commuting, in front of the TV and on the sofa at home. Modern gadgets and comforts have encouraged people to lead a sedentary lifestyle. And I will be the first person to admit guilt, as time in the office means hours hours of sitting, with rare occasions when I have to move around. My aides would be hovering around to get me what I need, and my meeting rooms are a few paces from each other. And Ive been reminded, again, by one of my doctors to move around exercise more, as sitting down too much is a health risk. We apparently use less energy, and we could end up with weak legs, tight hips and a bad back. Prolonged sitting can also cause the blood to pool in our legs, leading to varicose veins.

People are encouraged to stand in the train or bus, take the stairs or walk up the escalators. At work, they could take regular walk breaks, go physically to colleagues offices instead of emailing or calling. Studies have found that people who spend more time sitting than usual will gain more weight around the middle, which is a dangerous place to store fat. Other health issues that could develop include a weak heart, depression, dementia and diabetes. Seriously, previously I wasnt aware that the seemingly benign activity of sitting can potentially be deadly. To increase movement, I like the idea of switching to a standing desk for some of the workday. Weve to be mindful that a widening rear end isnt the only end result when we sit down too much.
