Get Up Stand Up - don't toxic sit!

Prolonged sitting time is linked to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, arthritis and some cancers.

But recognizing this and vowing to sit less is not enough to counter the ill effects of sitting for too long.

Professor Ross Anderson and Associate Professor Susan Bartlett of McGill University in Montreal have looked at the evidence of just how toxic sitting can be and offer some very practical ways of getting us moving and perhaps change some other unhealthy behaviours at the same time.
