Whether you’re working an office job, or you’re simply someone who enjoys lounging around all day, the reality is that this inactivity can have a huge negative effect on your health. Sitting for prolonged periods of time can lead to blood clots, obesity, cardiovascular problems, and type 2 diabetes. If you find yourself in a setting where you’re sitting for long periods of time, make a point of getting up and walking around every hour. Increase blood flow and get some exercise throughout the day, and your body will thank you.
