Could the Shape of Your Behind Reveal a Hidden Health Risk?
- Americans spend about nine hours sitting and nearly five hours on their phones daily, contributing to a sedentary way of life
- In a featured study presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), researchers found that muscle shape, not size, may reveal early metabolic changes and even signal disease risk
- The World Health Organization (WHO) advises getting at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week. Yet many people fall short of these targets because inactivity significantly raises the risk of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and other cancers
- Long, unbroken sitting bouts are associated with circulation problems, back pain, brain fog, higher cancer risk, and an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes
- Shape yourself up for better health by standing more, walking whenever you can, eating a nutritious diet, and getting enough sleep and sunlight
