Your Office Chair Is Killing You

Business Week writes Your Office Chair Is Killing You "New research in the diverse fields of epidemiology, molecular biology, biomechanics, and physiology is converging toward a startling conclusion: Sitting is a public-health risk. And exercising doesn't offset it. 'People need to understand that the qualitative mechanisms of sitting are completely different from walking or exercising,' says University of Missouri microbiologist Marc Hamilton. 'Sitting too much is not the same as exercising too little. They do completely different things to the body.'"
