If you work a desk job, you might make up for all that sitting around by going for a run every day after leaving the office. That exercise cancels out the negative effects of eight hours spent in a chair, right?
Wrong, according to a new advisory from the American Heart Association. The average American sits for six to eight hours per day, according to the AHA's report. Studies have linked long periods of sitting with an increased risk for diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. Sedentary days have also been shown to increase anxiety.

As a saying goes that health is above all. If we have spare time, we can try some sports in which we are interested might as well, if not, why not walk to school. In a all, exercise more as you can.
