You sitting down? Experts say it?ll kill you!

[BFT3K]

Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods - even if you also exercise regularly - could be bad for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place - at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV - just the overall number of hours it occurs.

So kids at school shouldn't sit or they will die?

[BillyHoe]

If I'm sitting and eating Pizza will that hurt me more?

[PR_Glen]

In other news, breathing, eating and drinking are deadly... we should all stop this madness!

science has spoken

[Evil Chris]

I just stood up. I'm never sitting again.

Standing is overrated

[Spunky]

The smokes or booze will kill me first

[Riffhard]

I could be "more likely to die" if I sit for long periods of time? Gee, and I thought we all had an equal change of dieing...

[Farang]

alcohol, smokes, pussy, drugs kill... and now even sitting... so hard to stay alive in this world

[Matt 26z]

Sitting at your desk 83
Shopping online 96

Luckily, my workstation is at a bench with a stool, so I have the option of standing or sitting.

[Playboy-Deak]

lol, ill never forget when 'experts' said turning off-n-on a light switch is hazardous to ur health as well...

[Peter Romero]

I've known this for a long time. My new office and lifestyle will have very little sitting - about 2 to 4 hours a day tops and be twice as productive as I am now shooting for and running 4 websites - 1 of which updates 365 days a year. 2010 will be the year I take my life back.

Pure BS!

Sorry but its obvious, people that sit for long periods usually don't exercise enough and often times eat poorly as well. Has absolutely nothing to do with sitting.

LOL, and teen girls that drink a lot tend to end up pregnant that doesn't mean drinking gets you pregnant.

[themadwriter]

so should i start jerking off standing up?

[Raf1]

yeah, we're all screwed

[daniel_webcams]

I just stood up. I'm never sitting again.

Wait... what about the bathroom.

[Iron Fist]

Newsflash: Living will eventually kill you.

[tranza]

That is fucked up..

[Serge Litehead]

have they made a complete analysis on what will kill faster - sitting down or standing up?

[Tom_PM]

Worrying about every way you could die is not living anyway. It's barely existing.

Well no wonder Howard Hughes went crazy.

[MetaMan]

how do these idiots get labelled as experts in the first place and how the fuck do they actually get funding to test out "sitting down".

WTF

[fatfoo]

You have to do it standing up.

[1200mics]

So kids at school shouldn't sit or they will die?

Hahahahahahaha

[KILL_FRENZY]

Right. Statistically I have a higher chance to die walking down the street than sitting at my desk.
