Move More, Sit Less: Why Sitting Is Bad For You

Oct 23, 2024

Whether working from home, commuting, or relaxing at the end of the day, sitting has become a constant companion. But what if I told you that sitting too much might be impacting your health—and in more ways than you realize?


On this episode of Building Resilience, we'll explore the dangers of prolonged sitting and why it's been called "the new smoking." We'll also discuss how sitting for extended periods can lead to some striking  issues like metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, weakened muscles, mental health challenges, and more.


Whether it's taking a walking break, pacing during phone calls, or standing while working, small and sustainable changes can add up to make a big difference.
