“It doesn’t matter if you go running every morning, or you’re a regular at the gym. If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting – in your car, your office chair, on your sofa at home – you are putting yourself at increased risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, a variety of cancers and an early death. In other words, irrespective of whether you exercise vigorously, sitting for long periods is bad for you<\/span>.”\u00a0http:\/\/lifehacker.com\/5482856\/exercise-or-not-sitting-at-a-desk-all-day-is-bad-for-you<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Update: “Inactivity boosts cancer risk, research finds,” Washington Post: “\u2026among post-menopausal women, taking frequent breaks from sitting was associated with smaller waist circumference and lower risk of some cancers. Even short periods of light activity — frequently standing up and walking for as little as a minute at time — reduced risk for such biomarkers as large waist circumference, elevated triglyceride levels and increased insulin resistance, which are linked to heightened cardiovascular disease but might also boost cancer risk.”<\/div>\n
