Why It’s So Important to Keep Moving

It is official! Sitting on your ass will kill you, it just takes a long time. In this intriguing experiment they did a pretty good job of eliminating variables and took a group of people who were normally active, measured their blood glucose, then asked them to become couch potatoes. Unsurprisingly, their glucose levels spiked (spiky blood glucose levels being highly correlated with heart disease and type 2 diabetes, not to mention being a fat ass like me), but it is nice now to have experimental evidence (_most_ of the time the Mythbusters predictions are correct, but they are wrong a surprisingly high number of times).
So, do yourself a huge favor and start shaking your bootie around on a regular and daily basis!
