A recent study shows that women who exercise regularly tend to spend a lot of time sitting than women who don’t.

Lynette L Craft, the assistant professor in preventive medicine at Northwestern University Fienberg school of Medicine suggests that making small changes in your regular work could help you stay away from obesity problems. Walking around the room while talking on the phone, stretching your arms and feet every few hours and standing up from the desk as often as possible can show an enormous difference in reducing the occurrence of chronic illness like diabetes, cardiovascular ailments, obesity and even cancers-all of which are accelerated due to lack of regular exercise.
Implementing a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and 8 hours of sound sleep does help keep you away from all potentially life-threatening diseases, but incorporating at least 30-40 minutes of vigorous exercise, preferably spread throughout the day in tiny sessions, is what actually makes your body more flexible and your immune system healthier.
