Sitting is the New Smoking – Stay Active for a Healthier Life

We often think of smoking as a major health risk, but sitting for long hours can be just as harmful. Dr. Sameer explains how a sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other serious health issues.

What happens when you sit too much:

Higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity

Poor circulation and muscle stiffness

Increased blood sugar spikes after meals

Weaker bones and joint pain

How to stay active daily:

Take the stairs instead of elevators

Walk for 10-15 minutes after every meal

Stand up and stretch every 30-40 minutes if you work at a desk

Stay engaged in small activities like household chores or a quick stroll during phone calls

Even small movements throughout the day can help reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and metabolic diseases. Get up, move around, and make an effort to stay active every day.
