We all know that sitting for long periods of time makes us feel a bit stiff and often lethargic. But on top of the mushy abs, tight hips and saggy glutes, sitting too much can cause a bunch of complications too. Here's a summary. Of course, you can counter these by taking regular breaks, stretching, eating a healthy diet and exercising outside of work.

Exercise as Effective as Drugs in Disease Treatment

Exercise may be as effective as medications in certain types of disease management, according to a new review published this week in the British Medical Journal. The review, which analyzed more than 305 trials with 339,274 participants, compared drug and exercise interventions and found that exercise proved similar to medications for heart disease prevention, heart failure treatment, and diabetes prevention. For those who had suffered a stroke, exercise was more effective than drug treatment. In addition, physical activity often provided patients with fewer side effects and injuries. The authors stress that these data provide health care professionals with a safe and effective alternative for their patients.
