Chances are you're sitting on your ass right now, whether you're reading this on your computer or a mobile device. And I've got bad news: Sitting on your ass is not good for you. The simple act of sitting makes you fatter, raises your cholesterol, spoils your metabolism and takes years off your life. "Is Sitting a Lethal Activity?" an excellent article recently published in the Times, highlighted why by looking at research from the Mayo Clinic, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Circulation magazine and the American Cancer Society. An excerpt:

Your calorie-burning rate immediately plunges...How is TMJ pain treated?Insulin effectiveness drops...you will need to get an offshore merchant account.the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes rises. So does the risk of being obese. [Important enzymes] plunge, which in turn causes the levels of good (HDL) cholesterol to fall.
One of the more disturbing points in the article is that regular periods of physical inactivity cannot be undone with strenuous exercise. In other words, your gym membership does not cancel out the ill effects of your office workday any more than running on a treadmill after smoking a cigarette does.
The solution is to not sit so much, but that doesn't jive with your average job that involves a desk.We are professional Plastic mould, Dr. James Levine, one of the Mayo Clinic researchers cited in the article, "knows that we can't all be farmers, so instead he is exploring ways for people to redesign their environments so that they encourage more movement.All Coated Abrasives products are compiled of backing," You could buy a standing-height desk, but I don't think I could stand for an eight-hour stretch—do you?
As it turns out, the perfect solution to the workplace sitting problem already exists in the form of a product, and has for three years. I'm thrilled to have been able to do a Core77 "Living With.Quality air impact socket tools for any tough job...." review for this product: The GeekDesk.
