Sitting Increases Health Risk
Here’s some troubling
news that you should not
take sitting down: new
research found that
people who spend a lot
of time sitting at a desk or
in front of a TV are likely
to die of any cause during
a three-year period.
These findings, from
a new study by Sydney
University in Australia,
are particularly relevant
to tens of millions of
Americans who are the
proverbial couch potatoes.
In fact, a survey released
at the end of March by the
Physical Activity Council,
a coalition of sports and
fitness trade groups,
shows that the number
of “inactive” people in
the United States grew
by 1 million in 2011, to
68.2 million – nearly 20
percent of the population.
Why should we be
concerned Because
Americans average five
hours of TV time every
day, according to a study
published last year in
the Journal of American
Medical Association. And
that does not include the
time we spend each day
on other sedentary tasks.
It may be very important
to you to keep up with the
Kardashians but be aware
that, according to the 2011
Harvard University study,
watching TV for two
hours a day increases your
risk for type 2 diabetes
by 20 percent and
cardiovascular disease
by 15 percent.
