Sitting Is Killing You! #Infographic Promoting Exercise

Sitting Is Killing You!  #Infographic Promoting Exercise | London Osteopath Health Topics | Scoop.it
Are you sitting down? Statistically speaking, you probably are. But that's not necessarily a good thing. In fact, the long-term effects of prolonged sitting day-in and day-out are not good for your personal health.

 

This Infographic details the potential harms in spending too much of your day sitting down. Other than the obvious (more time sitting = less time for exercise = gaining weight) sitting for prolonged periods can not only increase your risk for diabetes, but for heart disease as well.

 

There are ways you can break free from the dangers of being stuck in the chair from 9-5 and get some exercise for better back and body health.

Berry Habit May Help Women Avoid Heart Attacks

Berry Habit May Help Women Avoid Heart Attacks | London Osteopath Health Topics | Scoop.it
Young and middle-aged women who eat blueberries and strawberries regularly may help lower their risk of a heart attack later.
Tracy Hannigan's insight:

Anthocyanins are found in many foods with a dark or brightly coloured skin (berries, plums, cherries, aubergines etc).

 

The study rightly points out that those who eat lots of berries are likely to be more health aware than those who don't - and they are probably in a socioeconomic bracket which is associated with better health (based on the cost of a box of berries I saw at the local shop yesterday!).

 

It is important to have a rounded balanced diet overall - anthocyanins are good for you, but this doesn't mean you can eat rubbish and take a 'pill full of berries' to make up for it!
