Hi Reader,
Did you know that sitting for extended periods is often called “the new smoking”? While the comparison isn’t entirely accurate, the risks of prolonged sitting are real—and significant:
🪑 Health Implications of Sitting Too Much:
- Increased mortality risk: Sitting 6+ hours a day can increase the risk of death by up to 40% compared to sitting less than 3 hours.
- Cardiovascular health: Prolonged sitting raises the risk of heart disease.
- Metabolic issues: Sitting can increase the likelihood of obesity and diabetes.
- Pain points: Extended sitting often leads to neck, shoulder, and lower back pain.
The good news? You can counteract these risks with simple, intentional movement—and I’m here to help!
