Sitting is killing you

The modern workplace was not designed for the human body. Spending hours sitting on your butt, starring at a screen, typing away to turn electrons into information may be productive, but it’s hardly healthy. It’s quite common to pack on a good 10-15 pounds whenever you first start a desk job, and if you don’t exercise, that extra weight may stick on you for life. That’s scaring considering how these desk jobs are only going to grow over time. What affect will this have on the health of our society? Of you? Believe it or not, sitting may actually cause you to kick the bucket. The infographic below tells you why.
