Sitting 8 hours a day? Even exercise cant undo the damage
Sitting at your desk for eight hours (or more) a day and heading to the gym in the evening to balance it out? Prolonged sitting, even with regular exercise, disrupts metabolism, slows blood flow, and increases the risk of chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Experts emphasize breaking up sedentary periods every 15-30 minutes with short bursts of movement to mitigate these negative health impacts.
