The majority of my clients in Ottawa spend a vast amount of
time sitting in front of a computer.
Research has found sitting for extended periods of time is
an independent risk factor for poor health and premature death.
Even if you exercise regularly, if you uninterruptedly sit
for a great percentage of the time, you’re still at an increased risk of dying
prematurely.
Research shows that seniors who live a generally active life
have better heart health and live longer than those who remain sedentary for
most of the day. This holds true even in those who do not engage in a regular
exercise routine.
Simply standing up 35 times or more spread throughout the
day is a powerful antidote to long periods of sitting and is more effective
than walking.
