Resting heart healthy at work

Often rest and walking at a time when working hours is effective in maintaining fitness and health. You will be spared from cardiovascular disease, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and cholesterol.

If you're always busy every day, sitting for hours in the office, and worried about its effect on body weight and health, immediately rested. That's the advice from a recent study in Australia which found that someone who sits too long without a break at high risk for heart disease than those who frequently stand and walk.

According to investigators, the risk of cardiovascular disease caused by the attitude of sitting for long periods of time (in office for example) will manifest themselves into a larger waist, high blood pressure, high triglyceride levels, increases the body's inflammation, and lowering cholesterol levels of "good ".

Moreover, the negative impact on the disease attacks a person for a prolonged period of inactivity seems to remain valid, even for those who regularly go to the gym.

"These findings are not surprising,"

"In fact, the report Surgeon General recommends that a person should gradually accumulate activity throughout the day," he

"And (the study) is really consistent with it,"

Own research team led by Genevieve N Healy from the Cancer Prevention Research Centre, School of Population Health at the University of Queensland, Herston, Australia.

Report their findings were published online on January 12 edition of the European Heart Journal.

"In fact, if you exercise for 30 to 60 minutes every day, what activities do you do for the rest of the day may also be important for your cardiovascular health,"

"This study shows that small changes in one's activity (while standing on a regular basis) may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease,"

"This change can easily be incorporated into one's schedule of daily life (including in the workplace). Stand up, move more, more often, can be used as a slogan to help put this message in all facets of life, "

The authors argued that in developing countries, the average person spends more than half their day by sitting.

At the same time, they show that heart disease is the highest cause of premature death in the United States and Europe. To explore the potential relationship between these two things, Healy and his colleagues used data taken from U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

The data involved about 4800 men and American women aged 20 years and over who participated in the survey between 2003 and 2006. All respondents had been equipped with an accelerometer on their waist, to monitor the routine of walking, running, and sit for a week. Authors will measure the number of risk factors for heart disease-related, including waist circumference, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.

In extreme cases, the participant's longest-sitting was found for more than 21 hours per day. However, there is also the only sitting under two hours per day.

Meanwhile, activity at least taken a break for a whole week for less than 100, while the longest break for a week in nearly 1,300 registered.

The team found evidence of white participants that the longer they spend time sitting all day, then they will also waist circumference greater. The difference of race seems to play a role, because the Mexican-American descent participants seemed unaffected by this result. While blacks really showed the opposite dynamics.

Levels of blood fats (triglycerides) also found significantly higher among people who sit too long, as signs of insulin resistance, which is often referred to as a trigger for diabetes.

Overall, those who took a break from sitting at most (even if they spend a lot of time to sit down) were found to have the smallest waist circumference.

Those who entered the list at most 1.6-inch waist to rest a little more than participants who rarely break. Take more breaks are also associated with lower levels of C reactive protein, a sign for inflammation problems. In essence, according to the researchers, people should be encouraged to take breaks while doing an activity.

For example, they suggest that while workers can stand up to rest after receiving the phone or at meetings. Choosing to go to meet people's office rather than send him an email or call and use the stairs to access the work area or go to the bathroom.

"I think the recommendation of the investigators so that employees frequent breaks from activities kator it all makes sense,"
