Sit More, Die Sooner women.webmd.com
Sit at leisure, die at haste. In a 14-year study, those who spent at least 6 hours of their daily leisure time sitting died more often than those who sat less than 3 hours.
How could they die more often? Aren't we all going to get one shot at that?
I saw this on one of the sites I visit. It really is a study published on WebMD -- but I thought the comment said something about how our society deals with studies and common sense. The study and common sense agree that people need to move around -- at least a little bit. Whether it is so you get your blood (or bowels) moving or just so you increase the likelihood of running into people you like (because odds are they won't just happen to walk in front of your TV set day in and day out) -- people who are engaged (a verb/action word) in life live longer and have greater contentment with their lives.
So...move a bit more today (and decrease your chances of dying more often :)
