Although it was not completely news to me, indeed I think I devoted a post to it a long time ago, this introduction to an article by David Pogue brought me up with a jolt:
Have you heard the latest bad news? Sitting is the new smoking.
According to one study, every workday you spend sitting costs you 2.5 hours off your lifespan. Sit six hours a day, and you’ll die 4.8 years sooner. It’s true even if you exercise regularly; this article explains why.
Sitting also makes you fat, reduces bone density, contributes to heart disease, and makes you less productive. Great.
As you can imagine, I am writing this post standing up. And I'm absolutely exhausted.
