Did you know sitting more than six hours in a day greatly increases your risk of an early death? Sitting is more dangerous than smoking, kills more people than HIV and is more treacherous than parachuting. Researchers have found and continue to find evidence that prolonged sitting increases the risk of developing several serious illnesses like various types of cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Studies have repeatedly shown the effects of long-term sitting are not reversible through exercise. Sitting, like smoking, is poisonous to health. Take a look at all of the ways sitting is killing you…

I’m a gamer and I sit this way most of the day. I’ve been doing it since I was ten and now, twelve years later I’m absolutely fine.
The worst thing that can happen sitting like this is getting Hemorrhoid, but you’d have to be sitting for hours on end, all day every day without any exercise and when I say exercise, I mean the simple act of walking around your house XD
Although it doesn’t hurt to do some brisk walking. How to stay healthy? Don’t smoke, brisk walking 40 minutes three times a week and eat a salad every once in a while.
It just so happens that this isn’t rocket science XD
PS: Sitting is the new smoking??? Now that’s just fear mongering.
Wow! You guys just don’t think do you? Hell I’ve been sitting like a jackass for loads of hours a day, at work or just playing games- truth is: Until your’e thirty something your body naturally still keeps you ok. After that you got a downfall unless you take care of your body. Be it jogging, walking, going to the gym, doing yoga, pilates or just plain and simple sit-ups, push-ups and squats. Eating healthy is also a great way of helping your body. I’m 27 atm but I only recently (2 years) started taking proper care of my body: Don’t smoke no more, drink once a week or two, excersise 6 days a week, do yoga twice a week in class 3 days on my own. I eat more veggies, frruit and less meat. I feel great. Of course it’s up to every one how they think about what is good for them: It is your body in the end. My main point is: This article tells the truth and just because your young and don;t see anything bad yet does not mean the article is false.
Take good care of your Body, ming=d and spirit.
Namaste.
Really? Sitting? Wow what’s next, breathing? Come on people we’ve lived on earth for 100k years by sitting, it wont kill us. Chill, and have a seat, please.
Link to the original picture? It would be nice because your wordpress or whatever engine you’re using on this site is not lossless compression. The text is unreadable.
For you ignorant people: Do research before you comment. Sitting is actually terrible for you.
