DID YOU KNOW THAT: Sitting Down Makes You Age By 8 Years?

blank

A new research has found that women who spend too much time sitting ages quickly–and this is because sitting down for more than 10 hours a day makes you age by 8 years than normal.

“Sitting for more than ten hours a day gives women a ‘biological age’ up to eight years older than it should be, according to a major study” experts say.

According to MailOnline, “the researchers, who tracked the movements of 1,481 women over the age of 64, found a strong link between a sedentary lifestyle and the premature ageing of cells in the body. This process is known to increase the risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease.”

Though the damage caused by sitting is huge, just a half an hour of moderate exercise – such as brisk walking, gardening or cycling is said to be enough to break the chain and restore the body.

Dr Aladdin Shadyab, of the University of California, San Diego, who led the new study, said: ‘Our study found cells age faster with a sedentary lifestyle. Chronological age doesn’t always match biological age.’
