It’s October, and many of us have started gearing up for Halloween, so I’m posting this spooky little graphic today to scare you a bit. On first blush, few of us would think that sitting was a real problem, but perhaps after reading this interesting little graphic, you’ll see the errors of your ways, and though this graphic is more than a little sensationalist, but it makes a nice point nonetheless. Sitting is just part of the puzzle when it comes to the poor health Americans find ourselves in, but as I’ve suggested in the past, our national weight and illness problem may be more of a constellation of small causes rather than one big one. Sitting too much, eating calorie-rich food, driving a lot, these are all small but crucial parts of the puzzle that lead to serious health issues down the road.
