Office people and risk ... die early

According to scientists, office workers are one of the subjects who are at risk of dying early.

A 2010 analysis published in Circulation showed that every hour of inactivity increased the risk of death by 11%. This study tracked nearly 9,000 Australians and found that other factors (including age, gender, education and smoking habits) did not significantly change that risk.

In women, sitting for 6 hours or more increases the risk of death by 40%.

Another study in the American Journal of Epidemiology also found that people who sit continuously for 6 hours / day for 14 years have a 20% higher mortality rate than those who sit for three hours or less. everyday. Even in women, sitting for six hours or more increases the risk by 40%.

'Sitting is a deadly activity,' said Dr. James Levine from Mayo Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. An hour of exercise after eight hours of "nailing" at the desk can help improve some of the situation, but to be really healthy, you shouldn't sit in such a place for such a long time, if you don't want to reduce insulin function and increase the risk of obesity.

Here are some tips for people who often have to sit a lot, especially office workers:

1. Instead of emailing or calling colleagues, stand up and go to them.

2. Make a cup of coffee and chat with colleagues at the right time or go around the office.

3. Set the alarm to your computer, it will prompt you to arrive at the campaign after a few hours of work.

4. Do not use the elevator if you can take the stairs. This will probably take a bit of your time, but that small action is very beneficial.

5. After work, if it's a nice day, take a walk instead of watching TV. You can also make a family fun plan, such as bowling.
