Screen Time
July 30, 2010
Sandy James passes along some disconcerting news for those of us who sit at screens.
In a study published in May in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, (researchers) reported that, to no one’s surprise, the men who sat the most had the greatest risk of heart problems. …
What was unexpected was that many of the men who sat long hours and developed heart problems also exercised. Quite a few of them said they did so regularly and led active lifestyles. The men worked out, then sat in cars and in front of televisions for hours, and their risk of heart disease soared, despite the exercise.
Their workouts did not counteract the ill effects of sitting.
Darn.
