Sitting Is The New Smoking

There has been a lot of poignant information that has come out that has viewed sitting for periods of time to labeled as the "new smoking". I believe this is scaring a lot of people and causing a lot of misinformation. I think the main point is that sitting for long periods of time is obviously not healthy, but are nowhere near as dangerous as smoking. Sitting, while not the optional position to carry out long days is far better than other activities. It can be said it's not sitting which is the exact problem it's more like how you are sitting that causes problems. In recent studies it was been found that the optimal position for sitting is 135 degrees, reclining back. The worst position it has been found was the slouched over position making your spine less than ninety degree. The angle of ninety degree is where your spine is at a right angle, while this is better than slouched over reclining is the better position. Don't sit for more than one hour without getting up and taking a five minute walking break. Just do these easy objectives to help make your sitting not so strenuous.
