Too Much Sitting is Bad for You and Exercise Doesn't Help As Much As One Might Think

7/21/2012

Research from the Lancet as discussed in the National Post. (Thanks Dan)

"A growing body of evidence shows the cumulative effects of all that sitting are not easily remediable by exercise. For example, a 2010 study of more than 100,000 adults in the American Journal of Epidemiology [[external] PDF] found those who sat  for more than six hours a day were more likely to die than those who sat for  less than three, even if the former exercised regularly and the latter did no exercise at all. An earlier study of 17,000 Canadians (“Sitting time and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer”) found much the same."

60 Minutes on the Placebo Effect. Antidepressants, it turns out, only work above placebo for those with the most serious form of depression. Piece is an eye opener for the statistical process (manipulation) that allows drugs to get approved. 

Exercise and diet work.
