Studying the Hadza people of Tanzania reveals that it's not just sitting, but how we sit that matters; squatting and kneeling activate muscles, reducing harmful triglyceride buildup. Simple changes, like standing desks or moving more throughout the day, could dramatically improve long-term health.Read along with the original article(s) here: <a href="https://www.lesmills.com/fit-planet/health/sitting/">https://www.lesmills.com/fit-planet/health/sitting/</a>Quotes to ponder:"Sitting is the new smoking. Even if you’re a regular at the gym, long periods of sitting on a regular basis have been shown to significantly shorten your life.""The key difference is that the Hadza don’t use chairs; they squat or kneel.

But if you’re inactive for long periods during the day, you’re still at high risk of contracting some nasty diseases." Learn more about your ad choices.
