Are you sitting comfortably? Shall we learn a few facts about the risks of sitting too much (& for long periods)? Have you heard the slogan “sitting is the new smoking” and wondering if that’s really true? Let’s get into it….

Sitting on a chair is not as detrimental to your health when compared to lighting up a cigarette, your common sense will tell you that. “Sitting is the new Smoking” is a dramatic statement put forward by a prominent medical doctor called James A. Levine, D, Ph.D in 2014 who also made statements such as “Chairs are out to kill us”, “We lose two hours of our life for every hour that we sit” and “Sitting kills more people than HIV and is more treacherous than parachuting. We are sitting ourselves to death.”
