The Benefits of Frequent Movement
Sitting for long periods can be detrimental to health because it slows down metabolism and muscle activity. The Hadza people exemplify the importance of frequent movement despite sitting for about 10 hours a day. Getting up often activates the body's metabolic processes and muscles, offering significant health benefits. It is essential to interrupt sitting regularly by engaging in activities like standing, walking, or performing light tasks. Prolonged sitting, whether at work or during leisure time, can contribute to various health issues such as joint pains and back problems.
