This infograph courtesy of OnlineUniversity.net made me feel ill  just reading it. As my job requires me to be seated for the majority of the time, I applied all of the quoted statistics to myself. I quickly learnt that I am twice as likely to die from heart disease than those who don’t sit for the most of the day, my fat reducing enzymes drop by 90 percent and I along with 75% of people using a computer all day long, suffer from vision problems. Nice!

But it’s not all doom and gloom, most of these problems can simply be fought off with simple exercise and activities. So don’t quit your job just yet, as not eating and having nowhere to sleep is far worse for your health than sitting all day long.
