What’s the Deal With Sitting?
If we want to dig into why sitting is so bad for our health, three different (and almost certainly connected) mechanisms are important – inflammation, insulin resistance, and blood flow.
At work:
-Stand (or walk) while you take phone calls or if you need to think.
-Go and find that colleague rather than sending him or her an email. You’re much more likely to get a positive response, and you may even make a friend.
-Get up regularly, or at least once an hour. Do a lap of the office, pop outside, or take the stairs.
At home:
-Do a few push ups during TV ad breaks.
-Do your ironing and other chores while you’re catching up on Britain’s Got Talent and Biggest Loser.
-The minutes just before and after dinner are a great time to get up, or get out of the house for a quick walk
