The Dangers of Sitting All Day and 5 Things To Do About It Comments

12 minutes a day on a soft bounce rebounder is a very efficient addition to the potential solutions list.

It can even be done while working on less detailed tasks, such as studying video training material, especially with the new models that use silent bungie cords instead of squeaky springs.

Mostly good advice, but the drink more water advice is baloney. I've known this for years now as I learned it from more than one doctor. Drinking to much water isn't healthy. This very website recently had an article about that, did it not?

Also, standing much of the day isn't healthy either. Ask any old time school teacher from the days of the chalk board. Vericose veins, sore feet, even fallen arches, etc. Suggesting someone stand at their desk all work day is crazy.

Walking and movement are healthy, but standing in one spot isn't.

So I have the most comfortable computer chair possible, try to use good posture, and go for a 10 min walk every two hours, and a 30 min walk at lunch, followed by eating lunch for 30 min.

Rest your feet when you can (sitting, hopefully with good posture in a comfortable chair) and excercise using movement, walking, stretching, etc.

I was prediabetic and obese a few years ago. I am now slim and have perfect blood sugar levels. Thanks to a combination of walking and eating more healthy.
