The Most Dangerous Thing You Can Do Today Is…Sit Down

This is even more bad news for all of us lazy people!  You drive to work on roads filled with distracted idiots.  You walk in past the smokers and inhale their second-hand smoke.  You eat a high-fat breakfast.  You look at the ceiling tiles and realize they're still packed with asbestos.  And after all that...you still haven't encountered the most life-threatening part of your day.  No, that happens when you SIT DOWN.

--According to a study out of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana, people who sit for most of the day are 54%more likely than other people to DIE of HEART ATTACKS.

--That means sitting increases your risk of a heart attack more than any other factor.  It doesn't matter if you smoke, exercise, stress out, eat like crap, whatever . . . if you sit for most of the day, your heart attack risk skyrockets.
