For a long time not news, that an inactive way of life involves such unpleasant consequences, as adiposity, a backbone curvature, and, certainly, hemorrhoids. However it at all does not prevent to ignore to the overwhelming majority of office workers the recommendation of physicians.

And them to carry out not too difficult. In total that also is necessary - every week-day at least on half an hour to be engaged in physical exercises. During week-end health too does not need to be forgotten about the - the pedestrian and bicycle walks, visiting of sports halls, game in football are useful. If to adhere to the given system, how doctors considered until recently, "office" style of a life will not do much harm to health of the average clerk.

However thanks to the researches spent by experts from University of Missouri, it became known, that sedentary work is more dangerous, than was considered earlier. The professor of biomedicine Mark Hamilton and its colleagues have made experiments on rats, pigs and in public to find out, what influence renders similar pastime on health of examinees. Them it is artificial limited in movement. For example, people during experiment read, worked behind the computer, spoke by phone sitting.

Results have appeared unfavourable: spending all working hours in office armchairs, it is possible to die much earlier, than it would be desirable. The matter is that because of an inactive way of life in a human body or an animal the metabolic processes conducting to serious illnesses, in particular, to a diabetes and cardiovascular diseases begin.

Mark Hamilton has especially noticed, that a technique offered now (half an hour in day to devote to physical exercises), does not make due effect. As he said, even daily hour in this case will not help with a sports hall. On change to operating medical instructions the professor suggests to take new model of medical recommendations. As he said, to secure itself against negative consequences of sedentary work, it is necessary to stand and move more often simply. Much from this, that we do on an old habit sitting, it is possible to carry out and standing, has underlined Хамилтон. It should use. Such simple movements - to rise, turn back about the axis, to make a step to one party, then in another - it is necessary to do regularly. It will help to burn a great lot of calories to people who do not go in for sports at all, and to get rid of other problems with the health, arising because of constant sitting. One more doubtless plus of this system the professor names that the offered way of struggle against a sedentary life does not demand to spend hour per day for a sports hall.

Хамилтон has underlined: "you, of course, can tell, that are compelled to spend all working hours sitting, but not to cost to forget about Benjamin Frankline and Thomas Jefferson, shown to all of us, that it is possible to work productively and to do great affairs and behind a desk".
