Sitting
is especially dangerous for women
that are over the age of 30 as it can
increase the risk of a plethora of
heart-related problems. The
Australian Longitudinal Study on
Women's Health conducted by
University of Queensland showed that
sitting for hours was found to be the
main cause for cardiac issues among
women.
Another important thing to note here
is that daily exercise alone might not
be able to reverse the effects of
prolonged sitting. The research
conducted at king's college, London
viewed as a separate behaviour
change target to physical activity.
They said that the behavior of
prolonged sitting is what needed to be
modified.
Scientists from the Medical College of
Wisconsin broke this down: When we
sit for long periods of time, a lot of
enzyme changes occur in our muscles
that can eventually lead to increased
blood sugar levels.
 
Since this happens
over a long period of time, regular
exercise can't help much. But the good
news is that you can get up every one
hour, even if it so walk around for a bit
or go to the washroom. It's probably
why standing or treadmill desks have
taken corporates by a storm.
