Health Risk. Sitting Compared To Smoking

Hi Weedcash family,

I personally know I spend way too much time sitting in front of this computer. I just never realized how bad it was for my health. Yours too if you sit for prolonged periods of time.

I had heard the saying, " Sitting is the new smoking". Well what the heck was this all about. I had to find out, and what better post for my website.

Do you think you sit for long periods? I sometimes get so carried away, that I become unaware of the length of time I have been sitting here typing. Yes guilty of watching too much TV as well. Several years ago I suffered a back injury and am not as active physically anymore. NO EXCUSE!!!

Humans are built to stand upright. Your heart and cardiovascular system work more effectively that way.

Sitting for long periods can lead to weakening and wasting away of the large leg and gluteal muscles. These large muscles are important for walking and for stabilizing you.

Here are a few of the negative health consequences to sitting for long periods of time:

Weight:

Moving your muscles helps your body digest the fats and sugars you eat.

Cancer:
Emerging studies suggest the dangers of sitting include increasing your chances of developing some types of cancer, including lung, uterine, and colon cancers. The reason behind this is not yet known.

Heart disease:
Sitting for long periods has been linked to heart disease.

Diabetes:
Research suggests that people who spend more time sitting have a 112 per cent higher risk of diabetes. There are a lot more like depression, anxiety, back problems. It is a long list believe me.

I now take regular breaks, even stand up while I am typing. Changing the position, yoga has some ideas. Even sitting on one of those big yoga balls is better. Please this is something that we are in total control of. I assure you there will be no nasty side or withdrawal effects.

I know this really does not have much to do with weedcash network, and if I am cutting into your time I kindly off apologize. I think this is important, we have a great family here. Let us live long and prosper.

My best wishes,
