In case there is any doubt that a sedentary lifestyle is not conducive to good health, researchers are busy quantifying just how unhealthy it is to lie on the couch. The latest research of this sort, which involves data from 41 research studies, indicates that sitting for long periods increases the risk of a variety of unhealthy outcomes, including death. The more time people spent sitting, watching TV, or lying down, the higher their risk was of developing cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of this study was that researchers found that sedentary types’ risk of disease and death was even elevated if they exercised regularly. Chiropractic treatment is dedicated to getting patients active and healthy.
