Are you sitting comfortably...?


Could sitting really be damaging our health?   The answer, research tells us, is an overwhelming yes!

In today’s technological society we sit more than we do anything else.  Stop and think about the average working day of an office employee.  They get up, sit in their car or on the bus to get to work, sit at a desk on their computer, answering phones, attend meetings where they sit around a table to discuss issues, return home from work (seated in transport and quite often spend the evening sitting watching TV, on social media or out with friends sitting and eating dinner, watching a movie etc.  You get the picture!    

Nilofer Merchant, in her blog “Sitting Is the Smoking of our Generation”, for Harvard Business Review, offers an interesting insight into the health risks of excessive sitting, the simple changes she has made  her lifestyle and the benefits she and her colleagues have gained.  Click here for her full article.
