If you are reading this sitting down, the chances are you are also increasing your risk of heart disease, blood clots and even certain types of cancer.
A growing body of research is finding that sitting down for extended periods may be one of the most dangerous things we do and that the mere act of standing up, rather than physical exercise, is the best antidote.
Studies suggest that the average individual spends between 9 and 10 hours a day sitting on their bottoms. Either at the office, in the car, bus or train, or in front of the television. So stand up for yourself to improve your health prospects!
