The rapidly advancing modern technology has almost confined the human his/her seat while carrying out different activities!

The number of individuals confined to their work-seats during their working session has been increasing phenomenally.

American Cancer Society scientists have been monitoring 1.29 Lakh individuals on this aspect. They had also monitored these employees’ health aspects.

The study established that there are more chances of being affected by heart diseases, diabetes, nerves fatigue, and obesity for the employees who are confined to their work-seat sitting continuously for more than 6 hours every day.

Another observation was that 40% the women who spent 6 hours sitting continuously had the risk of reduced lifespan as compared to the women who spent 3 hours sitting continuously. In case of men,20% of men who worked sitting continuously for 6 hours face the problem of reduced lifespan.

The scientists report that there are chances of dying at a younger age in conditions where the person works sitting continuously at one place for long duration.
