Sit down, six!


The chair is a killer, as the English say. Anyone who sits a lot, has to or wants to, is disadvantaged regarding health. In the past, the television and the stomach were small. Today, the television is large, and so is the stomach (after 25 years of TV consumption). When sitting, the body rests. Aside from the negative orthopaedic effects, the body is immobilised and burns hardly any calories. My advice: Never sit for more than an hour. Get up and move around now and then. Inactivity is a killer. Drastically reduce the hours spent in front of the television (it's all garbage anyway) and in front of the computer. Anyone who has to sit at work should find suitable compensation. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or walk instead of driving short distances. It's not about going to the gym once or twice a week. Your daily routine must be changed. Just sit less. What did the teacher say so rightly? Sit down, six!
