  • New science has demonstrated that sitting too much during the day increases your risk of early death.  This is compelling new science that could help save your life.  Here are some key facts:
  • This is very substantive research done by scientists at University of California San Diego
  • Nearly 6,000 participants with activity monitors were followed for a decade
  • AI was used to link how long the participants sat on a daily basis to the risk of an early death
  • Those who sat 11 hours+ had a 57% higher risk of dying than those who sat less than 9 hours
  • The participants were women 63 to 99 years old
  • The scientists found that even with exercise too much sitting resulted in the same risk
  • Another study, this one in Australia, found that doing 9,000 to 10,500 steps per day lowers the risk of early death
  • News you can use:  the body was made to move; moving and stepping can save your life.
