It is recommended that you break up long periods of sitting time with activity for just one to two minutes. However, at the moment there is not appropriate evidence to set a time limit regarding how much time people should be sitting each day. Nonetheless, some countries \u2013 such as Australia \u2013 have issued recommendations that children limit screen time, such as TV and video games, to between one and two hours a day. This is to reduce the time that they spend sitting.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/h2>\nIdeas About How To Add Movement Into Your Day<\/strong><\/h2>\nBeing more active doesn\u2019t have to be an all-or-nothing endeavour. The main thing is to scale back on both your sitting and how many uninterrupted minutes you spend in one seat.<\/p>\n
A study from King\u2019s College London demonstrated that individuals who targeted their sitting time with a particular strategy\u2014say, switching to a standing desk or walking to the watercooler more frequently\u2014were more effective in lessening their sedentariness as opposed to those who focused on including more exercise<\/a> sessions in their days.<\/p>\nSo work on cutting out at least two hours of sitting time with movement breaks. Such a shift is associated with all sorts of benefits, including:<\/p>\n
\n- 14% lower triglycerides,<\/li>\n
- Higher \u201cgood\u201d HDL cholesterol,<\/li>\n
- A trimmer waistline, and<\/li>\n
- better glucose control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Little breaks don\u2019t seem like much however they add up. In fact, two hours that are spread over the roughly 16 hours you\u2019re awake is approximately eight minutes an hour. You can do those in spurts. One research study has shown that adding two minutes more walking to each hour may decrease a person\u2019s risk of dying by 33%.<\/p>\n
You may also see that there are times when you could eliminate sitting entirely:<\/p>\n
\n- Must you call your sister from the could, or could you chat while gently strolling?<\/li>\n
- What if you prepared dinner while standing at the counter or gave up a seat on the train or bus?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
