Sitting Too Long Can Kill You


Sitting is form of resting. It's good for your body, but only in a certain condition. As reported by http://www.enriquesantos.com, sitting can be more harm than smoking.

"Going to work could be more harmful than smoking, a new study shows. That is if your job involves sitting around for long periods of time. Research carried out by the American College of Cardiology shows that prolonged sitting is linked to increased risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer and even early death and could be just as dangerous, if not more so, than smoking. Cardiologist Dr David Coven said: ‘Smoking certainly is a major cardiovascular risk factor and sitting can be equivalent in many cases. The fact of being sedentary causes factors to happen in the body that are very detrimental.’ He told CBS that when you sit for long periods of time your body goes into storage mode and stops working as effectively as it should. And just like smoking, the more you do it, the greater the likelihood of developing one or more of the diseases.  Paul Golin told CBS he was sitting up to eight hours a day until he had a health scare which he believes was largely brought on by sitting down all day. "

Our body is just not meant to sit all day. We need to move to help circulating our blood and exercising our bones. The most common disease caused by too much sitting is anus muscle inflammation. The symptoms includes pain in the anus that makes you can't sit well. Scientists also suggest that sitting for long period can increase the chance of having diabetes.
