Title: Take Action Against Sitting Disease

Take Action Against Sitting Disease
2
  • The harmful effects of living a sedentary
    lifestyle are so hazardous to our health that
    many medical professionals believe sitting
    disease could be the next epidemic. It may sound
    harmless enough, but sitting disease is
    responsible for ailments in people of all ages,
    including headaches, cancer, heart disease,
    kidney disease and diabetes.

  • Numerous studies have found that when our body
    is still for a prolonged time, the enzymes
    responsible for metabolism go to sleep.
    Metabolism is what activates regeneration and
    growth in our cells, which keeps our body
    functioning at its best. By sitting still for
    long periods of time day after day, we are
    permanently damaging our cells and setting
    ourselves up to get sick.

  • The good news is that you dont need to find the
    fountain of youth to prevent the damaging effects
    of sitting disease. Experts agree that you can
    significantly improve your metabolism and spur
    cell growth just by making an effort to move a
    little all through the day. The goal is to keep
    those enzymes awake through lifestyle activity,
    and you dont need a sixty-minute power session
    to do it. Here are some simple tips to keep
    moving throughout the day.

  • Move Conveniences Farther Away - While it is
    handy to have the phone, remote control and trash
    can right by your favorite television chair, by
    simply moving them across the room you are
    setting yourself up to win.
  • Turn off the TV a television screen can be the
    equivalent of a ball and chain, forcing you to
    stay in one place for entertainment. Consider
    turning on some music instead. Music allows you
    to move freely rather than be tied to watching a
    screen. You may even find you and your wide awake
    metabolism tapping your toes and bouncing a bit
    to the beat!
  • Use your Countertop as a Table We have become
    accustomed to sitting for so many activities,
    including eating, reading and writing letters.
    All these things can just as easily be
    accomplished standing up, however, and the
    countertop is an excellent workspace. It provides
    a solid base to keep you balanced and safe as
    well as plenty of surface space to accommodate
    your activity of choice.
  • Tidy Up as you become more active throughout
    the house, it will be important to keep clutter
    at bay to avoid inadvertent accidents. Luckily,
    this is just another opportunity for you to move
    around!

  • Sitting disease may be a challenge to combat as
    you grow older, but can be overcome. Make it a
    goal to move around at least once every hour.
    Simple lifestyle changes can make a big
    difference in your health and quality of life.
    Its time to take action against sitting disease!
