GFY Health Tip: Too Much Sitting Can Kill You
 

For some of you this could be important ...... Worth a quick read.

"Those who spend 11 or more hours a day sitting are 40 percent more likely to die over the next three years regardless of how physically active they are otherwise, researchers say"

Why would anyone care on extending a GFY'ers (myself included) life expectancy??

i get up around 10 then spend all day and night till around 2 so 16 hours per day how long do i have to live

I find that hard to believe,as long as you incorporate some daily exercise

A bit far fetched! :1orglaugh

I have a standing desk, but I find myself sitting on my stool much more these days. I got a hemhorroid from standing too much.

Thanks to my dog for forcing me to get out of the house more often.

where does lying down in bed with a laptop for 11 hours a day put you? :thumbsup :1orglaugh

"Sixty-two percent of participants said they were overweight or obese (a similar proportion to Americans), while nearly 87 percent said they were in good to excellent health"


Hmmmmmmmm......

yep ive been doing ab work lately to strengthn my core

back feels a lot better

years of sitting really fucks it up :\

Oh Great...
 

I am seriously fucked, it's been nice knowing you all :Oh crap

lol........

another dumb yahoo piece. 2 deaths is 100% more then 1 death. but 101 deaths is only 1% more then 100 deaths. Both cases, only 1 more person died.

so yeah, maybe 14 people died instead of 10; 40% more people died. big deal.

Who actually sites for 11 hours total per day, that's ridiculous. People get up and walk around and take a break, etc.

sometimes when I read posts on GFY, dying sounds pretty good to me

I lost 80 pounds on a vegetarian diet and also running/swimming almost everyday. Also, I cut out rice and bread

at that rate Stephen hawking must know the secret of eternal life.
