The American Cancer Society has released findings from a study proving that if you sit for long periods of time you can be shortening your life span. Here are the actual details:
'Researchers spent 14 years studying 120,000 men and women and found that the more time they spent sitting, the greater their risk of dying prematurely. The stakes were especially high for women. Researchers found that women who spend six or more hours sitting had a 37 percent chance of dying, as compared to women who spent less than three hours a day in a chair. It was 17 percent higher for men.'
