減少久坐更健康

If you always spend your time on sitting， now stand up. Move your legs， and touch your toes， if you can. Do anything but sit. If you cut down on the time you spend sitting， you might live longer. New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Some studies found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add 1.4 years to life.

The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles rarely give us the chance to move around. Sitting is something we do all the time， everywhere. But that does not make sitting good for us. We sit while were eating； we sit in the car； we sit while we do our homework. And many of us sit for many hours. So on average， Americans report that they sit between four and a half to five hours a day.

Though you may exercise often， that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your time. If you exercise for 30 minutes a day， what goes on in the other 23.5 hours a day is also very important.

Change is already coming to some offices and classrooms， especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving.

Suggestions for sitting less ：

Get up from your desk as often as you can

Take walks at lunch time

Instead of emailing friends， walk to their houses and talk directly…

如果你總是坐著，現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)站起來。如果可以，活動(dòng)一下你的腿，伸伸腳趾。做一些除了靜坐以外的其他活動(dòng)吧。如果你減少了坐著的時(shí)間，你可能會(huì)活得更久。新的研究表明：一天坐著的時(shí)間少于三個(gè)小時(shí)，可能延長(zhǎng)兩年的壽命。一些研究發(fā)現(xiàn)每天看電視的時(shí)間減少到少于兩個(gè)小時(shí)，就能增加1.4年的壽命。

人的身體就是為了活動(dòng)而“設(shè)計(jì)”的。但是現(xiàn)代生活方式很少給我們活動(dòng)的機(jī)會(huì)。坐著是我們隨時(shí)隨地總在做的事情。但是這并不是說坐著就對(duì)我們有好處。吃飯的時(shí)候我們要坐著，乘車的時(shí)候要坐著，寫作業(yè)的時(shí)候也要坐著。我們中的很多人要坐很多個(gè)小時(shí)。所以平均來說，美國(guó)人的報(bào)道說他們每天坐著的時(shí)間是4.5到5個(gè)小時(shí)。

你可能經(jīng)常運(yùn)動(dòng)，但即使是這樣，也并不表示你在其余的時(shí)間里可以一直坐著。如果你一天運(yùn)動(dòng)30分鐘，你在一天中剩余的23.5個(gè)小時(shí)所做的也是非常重要的。

有的辦公室和教室已經(jīng)發(fā)生了改變，尤其是在桌子的設(shè)計(jì)上。一種“站立式桌子”讓人站著工作。一些美國(guó)學(xué)校也開始嘗試結(jié)合一些自行車功能的課桌，讓孩子們保持運(yùn)動(dòng)。

減少久坐的建議

盡可能多次地離開你的桌子

午餐時(shí)間走走路

把給好友發(fā)郵件換成走到他們家直接說……
