Sitting Isn’t Really “Sitting Disease”??
A new study is challenging the current trend in thinking that prolong sitting increases the risk of an early death. The study, from the University of Exeter and University College of London, goes against previous studies that state the act of sitting itself is harmful to one’s health even if people are regularly active or exercise. It also disputes widespread recommendations (USA’s CDC and UK’s NHS) that remaining seated is unhealthy, regardless of the amount of exercise one does.
