Also, physical activity helps maintain muscle tone, your ability to move and your mental well-being, especially as you age. This might lead to weight loss and increased energy.

You might start by simply standing rather than sitting when you have the chance. Overall, research seems to point to the fact that less sitting and more moving contribute to better health. Other studies have found that for people who are most active sitting time contributes little to their risk of death. However, unlike some other studies, this analysis of data from more than 1 million people found that 60 to 75 minutes of moderately intense physical activity a day countered the effects of too much sitting. They found that those who sat for more than eight hours a day with no physical activity had a risk of dying similar to that posed by obesity and smoking. Researchers analyzed 13 studies of sitting time and activity levels. Any extended sitting - such as at a desk, behind a wheel or in front of a screen - can be harmful.
