Stand up more

A lot of sitting might be harmful to your health. This is partially due to the fact that prolonged durations of sitting might result in weight gain and reduced calorie burn.

In a 2018 review, it was found that standing or stepping while at work was linked to lower levels of weight, body fat, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting triglycerides, total/HDL cholesterol, insulin, and cardiometabolic risk (CMR) scores. Stepping, as opposed to standing, produced higher reductions in systolic blood pressure and insulin resistance. If you work at a desk, try standing up from time to time to break up the time you spend seated. You may also buy a standing desk or try taking daytime walks.
