DESCRIPTION: Prolonged daily sitting is associated with a shorter lifespan, even in those who exercise regularly. Standing and treadmill desks are two potential solutions for office workers. Though right now I'm writing this sitting on my butt in a plane, that treadmill is where most of the NutritionFacts,org magic happens. However, before you try standing or treadmilling all day, make sure you have good footwear—learn from my mistake! More on the benefits of physical activity in Exercise & Breast Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/exercise-breast-cancer/) and Reversing Cognitive Decline (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reversing-cognitive-decline/), keeping in mind that what we eat may be more important. See Is It the Diet, the Exercise, or Both? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-it-the-diet-the-exercise-or-both/) and What Women Should Eat to Live Longer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-women-should-eat-to-live-longer/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/standing-up-for-your-health/ and he'll try to answer it!
