The Sitting Disease

Sitting for more than four hours a day will take years off your life.  Alarmist?  Unfortunately, true even if you exercise daily.  See this article for the slightly scary details.  And more here.  And here.  And here from the Mayo Clinic. And here from Popular Science. Geez, there is getting to be an epidemic of articles about how sitting can kill you.

Fortunately there is hope as sit-stand tables, desks and even keyboard trays are available from office furniture dealers such as our client Mason, Inc..  Some actions you can take that will help include:

• Take a five minute break every hour for a restroom visit or a drink of water.  
• Stand up and stretch for a few moments every hour.  
• Stand up while you are involved in phone conversations or webinars.
• Plan your workflow so you are in and out of the office some each day.

These steps and regular exercise and good diet with appropriate workplace furniture can help you get those years back.  Check out the option below which I think is the best one.  You can even burn some calories during the day.
