Reading and learning about the adverse effects of a sedentary lifestyle can be daunting. The laundry list of sitting’s negative effects is enough to make even the most active person worry about the amount of time they spend on the couch. But, thankfully it’s not all bad news. Harvard Health recently reported that even brief periods of movement can reverse the harmful effects sitting has on our bodies. According to a 10-year-long study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in January 2019, even small amounts of movement throughout the day seem to counteract at least some of bad effects of sitting. Light movement like vacuuming can make a big difference. Check out the full report from Harvard Health to learn all the details.
