Why Sitting Is Killing You |
|
People who sit for most of their day are 54% more likely to die of a heart
attack.
Did that get your attention? We hope so (and, no, we didn't make that up).
We've talked about the benefits of getting off your hind quarters and spending
more of your day on your feet.
To put things into perspective, here's what sitting physically does to your
body:
- As soon as you sit the electrical
activity in the leg muscles shut off, calorie burning slows to a sloth-like
1 per minute, and enzymes that help break down fat drop by 90%.
- After 2 hours of reclining in your
favorite chair, the good cholesterol in your body drops about 20%.
- After 24 hours insulin effectiveness
drops 24% and risk of diabetes rises.
The people over at
MedicalBillingandCoding.org captured this information and some of the more
long-term problems with sitting in an interesting infographic. But before you
see it, here are some key points:
- We sit now more than ever before, at
a whopping 9.3 hours a day. We spend more time sitting, on average, than we
do standing (7.7 hours a day).
- Sitting for more than 6 hours a day
will give you a 40% greater chance of dying within the next 15 years than if
you sit for less than 3. This is true regardless of exercise.
- On average, obese people sit for 2.5
hours per day more than thin people.
- People with sitting jobs have twice
the rate of cardiovascular disease as people with standing jobs.
- Walking burns 3-5 times the calories
than sitting does.
- Sitting at a 135 degree angle puts
less strain on your back than leaning forward or sitting up straight.
