Did you know that sitting down for more than 4 hours a day can put you at greater risk of developing obesity, heart disease, diabetes and even cancer?
That’s without the added pressure you’re putting on your spine!
But it’s not just our chiropractors here in Southend who are making a stand against sitting down; the nation is also at it! The 29th April is On Your Feet Britain day where people all across the UK will implement simple changes in their day to sit less and stand more!
Are you going to join in and stand up to your right to good health?
The changes you make on the 29th April could be as simple as walking to the shop instead of driving, standing up to take a meeting or going for a stroll instead of sitting in the canteen during your lunch break. These changes may be small but they may just be the start of positive habits that will go on to improve your health and reduce your risk of developing many serious conditions.
Go on, give it a go!
