Research from a recent study conducted in Switzerland indicates that women who sit for long periods of time increase their risk of metabolic disease by 26 percent. And here’s the kicker – this was evident even if they regularly engage in a plan of moderate to vigorous exercise. Yikes! The scientists who performed this study recommend that, if you will be sitting for extended periods, you get up periodically and move your butt. Walk up and down the stairs. Take a walk around the block. Just keep that metabolism in gear.
