Most people think that if you exercise regularly, it’s okay to remain sedentary for the rest of the day. However, research shows that even if you exercise for an hour a day for five days a week, if you spend 40 hours or more per week sitting (at work and at home watching TV), you are at risk for dangerous diseases. Current research shows that even exercise can’t protect you from the ill effects of sitting too much. The amount of time you exercise and the amount of time you spend sitting are completely separate factors in risk for heart disease.

WE need to allocate our time judicially to work and rest. Break is necessary after every one hour of work. Even taking a break of fifteen minutes after one or two hours of work will do.

Friends you all are correct. I want to add one more point together with this. Sitting ideal for a long time can make your back bone curve. Later your back starts paining. Adhere to this, if you continuously consume fast food while sitting on couch or sofa, it can spoil your physical fitness.

Prolonged sitting and prolonged standing both are equally dangerous. Taking frequent breaks is the only remedy.
