Prolonged Sitting is the “New Smoking”

October 08, 2024  •  Leave a Comment

View my recent discussion on the detrimental effects of prolonged sitting. I detail the health risks associated with prolonged sitting, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. I also talked about the importance of finding activities that you enjoy and that will help you to stay active.

Health risks associated with prolonged sitting:

  • Heart disease: Prolonged sitting can lead to several cardiovascular problems, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease.
  • Diabetes: Prolonged sitting can increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
  • Cancer: Prolonged sitting has been linked to an increased risk of several types of cancer, including colon cancer and breast cancer.
  • Prolonged sitting can also lead to several other health problems, such as obesity, back pain, and depression.

I suggest several activities, such as walking, biking, swimming, tai chi, qigong, and yoga. I also emphasize the importance of finding activities that are appropriate for your fitness level and that you can do regularly.

Finally, I offered some tips on how to reduce the amount of time you spend sitting. These tips include getting up and moving around every 30 minutes, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and using a standing desk.

I teach and offer lectures about holistic health, physical fitness, stress management, human behavior, meditation, phytotherapy (herbs), music for healing, self-massage (acupressure), Daoyin (yoga), qigong, tai chi, and baguazhang.

Please contact me if you, your business, organization, or group, might be interested in hosting me to speak on a wide spectrum of topics relative to better health, fitness, and well-being.

I look forward to further sharing more of my message by partnering with hospitals, wellness centers, VA centers, schools on all levels, businesses, and individuals who see the value in building a stronger nation through building a healthier population.

I also have hundreds of FREE education video classes, lectures, and seminars available on my YouTube channel at:
