Sitting Too Long

On average, American adults sit between 9 and 11 hours a day. For most of them, sitting for prolonged hours in front of a computer seems harmless, but as most studies suggest, those who sit too long are actually more likely to be obese. As a result, they also have increased odds of developing chronic diseases like cardiovascular issues and even cancer.

Another study discovered that people who sit for longer than 10 hours a day have a 34 percent higher risk of early death. The percentage is huge, so you must change this habit as soon as possible. If your job implies sitting for long hours, at least make sure you take a walk before and after work.

Even better, try a standing desk.
