Even A Few Minutes Per Hour Of Gentle Walking May Reduce Harms Of Oversitting.
Well” blog reported that a study (5/14) published online in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology suggests that “even a few minutes per hour of moving instead of remaining in a chair might substantially reduce the harms of oversitting.” After analyzing data on some “3,626 adult men and women,” researchers found that people “who walked around after standing, replacing some of their sitting time with a light-intensity activity like strolling, gained a substantial benefit in terms of mortality risk.” If participants “replaced as little as two minutes of sitting each hour with gentle walking, they lowered their risk of premature death by about 33 percent, compared with people who sat almost nonstop.” http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/05/13/a-2-minute-walk-may-counter-the-harms-of-sitting/?ref=health&_r=0

I thought by now everyone was aware that diet (and exercise) are the primary methods of fighting, maybe even curing diabetes. By that nature, the inverse (sitting around all day) is going to worsen your condition with that type of disease or increase the risk of developing it. I figured this out the hard way, after struggling with diabetes and then being put on metformin by my doctor. Metformin was ineffective, i didn't drop below a blood sugar of 140, and i figured there must be a better way to fight the disease. Then i discovered the 7 Steps to health book (look up reviews of it, here's a decent review site that has it: http://steamspoils.com/ ) that aided me in flat out curing my diabetes. I dropped 30 pounds and I've been taken off metformin since, and I won't ever have to resort to insulin.
