The Health Hazards of Sitting

1/22/2014

This article on the Health Hazards of Sitting came out this week. It basically states what is already well-known, and even acknowledges that most of us feel guilty if we sit for too long. The info graphic describes exactly why. While there's an element of scare tactics being used, as is often the case with fitness and health (ie: "we're all gonna DIE!"), all you have to do is sit at a desk for much of the day to know that these things are true. I get the chance to move around a fair bit, and I really notice it on those days where I'm sitting in front of a computer for longer lengths of time.

(My strategy is to keep filling my water bottle in the staff room, forcing me out of my chair, up and down stairs, and begins the cycle of bathroom break, refill water, bathroom, staffroom, etc.).

    Whose blog, now?

    From the gut, about the gut, trying to listen to what my gut tells me.

    I'm just a girl, fighting the same weight battle as much of the population. Lost 100 lbs, working on the rest, trying to find balance between health, fitness, and vanity. I'm also a librarian who wants to share credible information and reliable resources, in addition to my own musings and reflections, what I call "my writing from the gut."
