00:12Top 13 Reasons Sitting All Day Is Worse Than You Think
00:15Sitting too much might feel harmless, but it quietly takes a toll on your body and mind.
00:20Here's why getting up matters.
00:221. It hurts your heart.
00:23People who sit a lot, like bus drivers, are twice as likely to get heart disease as those who stand more,
00:28even if their lifestyle's the same.
00:312. It can shorten your life.
00:33Long sitting sessions raise your risk of dying early, no matter how much you exercise.
00:37So don't skip the gym, but don't stay glued to a chair either.
00:413. It raises dementia risk.
00:43Sitting too much can affect your brain like dementia.
00:45It also raises your risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and more.
00:50Moving throughout the day helps.
00:514. It cancels out exercise.
00:54Even 7 hours of workouts a week can't undo the damage of sitting for hours at a time.
00:58Stay active throughout your day, not just at the gym.
01:015. You're more likely to get diabetes.
01:04It's not just about burning fewer calories, sitting actually messes with how your body handles insulin.
01:096. You could get DVT.
01:11Sitting too long can cause blood clots in your leg, which can turn dangerous if they travel to your lungs.
01:17So take movement breaks.
01:187. You may gain weight.
01:20Too much screen time leads to weight gain, even if you exercise.
01:24Daily movement matters just as much.
01:268. Your anxiety could rise.
01:28Sitting alone with a screen all day can spike anxiety and hurt your sleep.
01:32Less movement and less social time don't help.
01:349. It messes up your back.
01:36Sitting strains your back and spine, especially if you slouch.
01:40Even with a great chair, you still need to stand up often.
01:4310. It causes varicose veins.
01:45Sitting makes blood pool in your legs, leading to swollen, twisted veins.
01:49They're not usually serious but can hurt.
01:5111. You might lose mobility.
01:53If you stop moving, especially as you age, you risk weaker bones and losing the ability to do everyday things.
01:5912. It increases cancer risk.
02:01Sitting too much is linked to several cancers, like colon, lung, and breast, even if you're super active otherwise.
02:08Stand, stretch, and walk every 30 minutes.
02:11Use a standing desk or take walking meetings.
02:13Small moves make a big difference.
