Get Up! Stand Up!
Sitting is bad for your health. Whether you’re
sitting at a desk doing work, in a classroom
listening to a lecture, or on a ship sailing the ocean,
research suggests extended periods of sedentary
behavior may increase the likelihood of high blood
pressure, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease,
and cancer, as well as poor mental health. No one
is sure why sitting is such a problem, but it is.
According to The New York Times researchers have
found:
“…After an hour or more of
sitting, the production of enzymes
that burn fat in the body declines
by as much as 90 percent.
Extended sitting, they add, slows
the body’s metabolism of glucose
and lowers the levels of good
(HDL) cholesterol in the blood.
Those are risk factors toward
developing heart disease and Type
2 diabetes.”
Adding insult to injury is the fact risk levels don’t
change even if you hit the gym for a tough workout
after sitting all day. An Australian study published
in JAMA Internal Medicine found people who sit for
more than 11 hours a day have a much higher risk
of dying within three years than more active people.
The odds were better for people who exercised five
or more hours a week, but exercise didn’t entirely
offset the negative effects of sitting.
You like to move it, move it…
According to The Economist, “A typical car-driving,
television-watching cubicle slave would have to walk
an extra 19 km (about 12 miles) a day to match the
physical-activity levels of the few remaining people
who still live as hunter-gatherers.” Fortunately,
research hasn’t indicated a hunter-gatherer level of
activity is required to improve health outcomes. You
don’t even have to join a gym, according to the
experts. Just engage in moderate activity throughout
the day. Here are some suggestions for becoming
more active:



Stand up. Standing requires muscle activity
and supports processes related to the
breakdown of fats and sugars within the
body. In other words, it has a far different
effect on the body than sitting. Standing
desks are widely available as are options to
convert a regular desk into a standing desk.
Break it up. Walk for two minutes every 20
minutes or so. Do a lap around your
building or walk to a colleague’s office for a
chat instead of sending an email.
Engage in desk-ercise. Look into exercise
equipment for your desk. Depending on
your preferences, you may opt for elliptical
paddles, cycle pedals, or a skateboard
platform. If you have more disposable
income, you may want to invest in a
treadmill desk.
No matter how you do it – making trips to the
grocery store on foot, gardening in the cool evening
hours, walking with colleagues instead of sitting at a
conference table, or being active in other ways –
building leisurely activity into your day has the
potential to greatly improve your health.
