为什么久坐有害健康 Why sitting is bad for you

Right now, you're probably sitting down to watch this video

and staying seated for a few minutes to view it is probably okay.

But the longer you stay put, the more agitated your body becomes.

It sits there counting down the moments until you stand up again

and take it for a walk.

That may sound ridiculous.

Our bodies love to sit, right?

Not really.

Sure, sitting for brief periods can help us recover from stress

or recuperate from exercise.
