Did you know that sitting for long periods of time can increase your risk of cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and depression? More than 86 percent of the American population have "desk jobs." And now that many of us have transferred our work to our home offices, we may be spending over 11 hours per day sitting down. Add a good night’s rest of eight hours sleep onto that, and that’s a whopping 80 percent of our lives being completely sedentary! So what can we do to reduce this risk and live healthier lives? It’s simple. Stand up and move around.
