Sitting for several hours a day puts your health at risk – even if you exercise regularly.
#CancerPrevention ~ “Extended sitting raises your risk for colorectal, ovarian and endometrial cancers, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma,” says Karen Basen-Engquist, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Behavioral Science at MD Anderson. It also increases your risk for obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Luckily, reducing your sitting time can be simple. “At least once an hour, get up and move.
