Do you remember the famous phrase “sitting is the new smoking”? Sitting isn’t inherently the problem—it’s prolonged inactivity that threatens our health.
SITFIT®Plus from SISSEL®
There are myriad health problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle, including an increased risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, musculoskeletal disorders, depression, and cognitive impairment.
Physical activity decreases the risk of all-cause mortality, prevents injuries, improves mental, emotional, and cognitive health, and assures better sleep.
How to Increase Physical Activity While Sitting
Millions of people are required to sit for 8 hours or more a day. Making activity simple, accessible, and part of our daily routine is the key to offsetting the health risks of prolonged sitting and inactivity.
Recent research suggests taking small movement snack breaks throughout the day benefits our health. When sitting, it’s better to move and fidget than to seek one “perfect posture”.
The SITFIT® Plus from SISSEL® is a fabulous device for moving while sitting or as a tool for creating movement snacks throughout the day.
