DID YOU KNOW that you don't need to be a world-beater with exercise as long as you're not sedentary for most of the day?
Results from a new study in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism show that even low physical activity level combined with less than 6 hours daily of sedentary time reduces the risk for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Whereas only moderate-rigorous physical activity benefits those sedentary for more than 6 hours each day.
The risks for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality were 64% and 66% higher, respectively, in the high sedentary behavior group than in the low sedentary behavior group. A stark reminder that you have to get up and move throughout the day. If you work in an office setting, get an adjustable desk. If at home, set a timer every 30-45 minutes to get up and move around.
