This Is How You Can Counter
the Effects of Sitting .
Sitting for extended periods of time is
quite common in the modern world,
especially since the onset of the pandemic.
Several studies have
clarified just how detrimental
hours of daily sitting can
be for a person's health.
One particular study indicates that
only 11 minutes of daily walking
is enough to counter the effects of sitting.
The study was published in the
'British Journal of Sports Medicine.'.
It maintains the findings of other studies
linking early death with being sedentary.
Analyzing the data of more than 40,000 people,
the study found that daily movement dramatically
lowers the risk of early death.

Brisk walking is excellent moderate exercise, Ulf Ekelund, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences,

While 11 minutes of walking can
counter the effects of sitting, .
other studies have indicated that at least
30 minutes of daily activity can actually
lengthen a person's lifespan
