Those of us with desk jobs can take heart. According to new research, exercising for just 30 minutes each day can mitigate many of the risks associated with sitting too much.
The average Australian worker spends more than six hours a day sitting which makes us a nation of, what researchers call, “high sitters”. High sitting has been linked with everything from cancer and obesity to heart disease and diabetes and even depression.
