According to an analysis of previously conducted research, limiting the amount of time you spend sitting to less than three hours a day may boost life expectancy by as much as two years. The research, published in the journal BMJ Open, also says cutting TV time to less than two hours a day could extend life by nearly a year and a half. The authors of the study write that adults spend an average of 55 percent of their day sedentary and a significant shift in behavior is necessary to make demonstrable improvements to life expectancy. The analysis used data collected for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey as well as previously published studies on the effects of sedentary lifestyles. Though the authors stress that their research only assumes a casual relationship between sitting and life expectancy, it adds to growing evidence that too much time sitting can increase the risk of conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and early death.
