The less time you spend sitting, the longer your lifespan. A U.S. study found that women who sat for more than six hours a day had a 37 per cent increased risk of premature death compared to those who sat for three hours or less.
你坐着的时间越短，你的受命则会越长。一项美国的研究调查发现，每天久坐长达六小时以上的女性要比三小时一下者出现过早希望现象的几率高出37%。
Sitting slows the metabolism, which can eventually cause obesity. But getting up every half an hour can dramatically reduce the bad effects, says Professor Stuart Biddle, an exercise psychologist at Loughborough University.
英国拉夫堡大学运动心理学家司徒雷登-比德尔教授表示，久坐还是减慢人体的新陈代谢，从而最终导致肥胖，但若能每半小时就站起来活动一下，这将大大减轻长时间坐着所造成的不良影响。
