CNN —Sitting at your desk all day may put you at greater risk for heart disease –– even if you work out in your spare time, according to new research.
This study was particularly helpful in investigating sitting because of its large sample size and the methodology it employed, Diaz said.
“We would really recommend that as many people as possible avoid sitting more than 10.6 hours a day,” Ajufo said.
The study is also observational, which means that while it can make associations, it can’t prove that the sitting was the cause of the heart disease, she added.
To do their job well, muscles need movement.
