Be aware of your habits that sometimes seem comfortable but have a negative impact on your health. If you spend a long time sitting or relaxing on the couch, it may take you two years from your life. A lazy lifestyle increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity. It can also lead to premature death. Many people think they can reduce this risk by exercising. A new study says exercising (even 60 minutes a day) does not reverse its effect on the length of our lives from sitting for a long time.
A team from the University of Toronto looked at 47 studies of people who kept records of how long they sat and how much they exercised. The least active person has a 24% greater chance of death than the active one. Sport does not change this. The team advised people to sit less each day. We also had to stand at our table, take frequent breaks to stretch, or watch TV shows. This is probably better than the gym.
