Sedentary Lifestyle
• “Sitting disease”• Too much time sitting down may spell
bad news for your health"Human beings evolved as a walking entity, exploring the world on our feet,"
says James Levine, MD, author of Move a Little, Lose a Lot.
"The strangest thing in the world is that people spend all day scrunched in a chair. It's a form of physical entrapment," Levine, who strolled on a treadmill in his office at a 1 mile-per-hour pace while being interviewed for this article, says.
Levine's advice: Fight sitting disease by taking steps to become more physically active. But how do you actually do that when you're locked into a lot of sitting time at work and getting around town?
