We believe that sitting around and doing nothing all day is unhealthy. It just makes sense, but what if I told you it has been proven?
In a recent 14-year study it was found that sitting for long periods of time can raise the mortality rate of a person. This Study started with 53,000 men and 70,000 woman. At the start of the study all the people were disease-free.
Over the span of this study, 11,300 of the men died and 8,000 woman. Isn't that startling? They found that sitting for more that six hours a day will raise the mortality rate of a person. More so for men than for woman.
I found this information to be very interesting. I knew sitting around was bad, but I didn't know just how bad it really was or really could be.
Just thought I would let you know about this study and how sitting may be affecting you.

Thank you.
