Sitting Too Much? Move More to Live Longer | Perth News
Description
England’s top doctor warns that working from home may be quietly shortening our lives — not because we’re exercising less, but because we’re sitting more. New guidelines reveal that even if you hit your weekly workout goals, hours spent sedentary still pose a serious health threat. Research shows just 11 minutes of brisk walking daily can slash early death risk by 23%. Experts urge weaving movement into everyday life — walking, gardening, dancing, chores — not just relying on gyms. And while weight-loss drugs are gaining traction, they can’t replace strength training to prevent frailty. Any movement counts — and more is always better.
