Beware of your chair

According to Peter T. Katzmarzyk, a member of the Journal of Physical Activity, new research has emphasized health concerns associated with too much sitting. We sit at school, at the computer, in the car, during meals, while reading a book and while watching television.

The moral of Katzmarzyk’s message is that the less time we spend in a chair, the healthier we will be.

Some computer desks, such as the Elevate Adjusta, now allow users to stand while working and they can be lowered if the person would rather sit.

Read a review from the New York Times.

Should people really make a conscious effort to stand more throughout the day? Would this be an easy or difficult adjustment to one’s lifestyle? Advantages and disadvantages?

Tell us what you think.
