You might think you lead a more or less healthy lifestyle. You take care of your diet, look for healthy products, limit your alcohol intake, don't smoke, and try to drink two liters of water a day. Excellent, right?
Well, we don't want to be party poopers, but even though you pay attention to what you eat, there is another habit that can affect your health even more than tobacco use. And the worst part is that we can assure you that you do it every day for several hours.
According to several studies, the new threat to public health is sitting for long periods. Some researchers have found evidence that sitting for too long increases the risk of developing certain types of cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.

The problem is that the damages of a sedentary lifestyle are not reversible, meaning that it doesn't matter if you sweat a lot in your yoga or spinning class, the hours you spent sitting in the office do not disappear. Just as it is impossible to recover the hours of sleep lost from a late night, the effects of a sedentary life can only be reduced in one way: by decreasing the hours we spend sitting.

A study showed that people who sit for more than six hours a day die earlier than those who limit their sitting to three hours or less.
An Australian study found that for every hour spent watching television, the risk of mortality increases by 11%.
Sitting for more than four hours a day increases the likelihood of suffering from circulation-related diseases and raises the risk of having a heart attack by up to 125%.
