Interesting study finds that sitting for extended periods of time can lead to a plethora of 
health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure even cancer. I think the most interesting part of the study says that we exercise prolonged sitting and cause tremendous health problems. I exercise each and everyday after work for 30 minutes. But I do make a point to stand and stretch for a few minutes if I had been sitting at my desk for more than 30 minutes. Several times a day I stand and stretch at my day.
A new study that’s running in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that this kind of sedentary behavior increases our chances of getting a disease or a condition that will kill us prematurely, even if we exercise. Researchers from Toronto came to this conclusion after analyzing 47 studies of sedentary behavior. They adjusted their data to incorporate the amount someone exercises and found that the sitting we typically do in a day still outweighs the benefit we get from exercise. Of course, the more you exercise, the lower the impact of sedentary behavior. Prolonged sitting, meaning sitting for eight to 12 hours or more a day, increased your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 90%. CNN News Wire
I use a roller on my legs, arms and back. The runners “Stick” is an excellent
leg and back massager. This brings blood to the surface of the skin. Do that a few times today and you’ll feel better, be more mentally alert, far more effective, productive and efficient. Blood rushes through your body, your limbs, brain, organs – and cleanses you inside out.
Here are some examples of stretching exercises.
