Sitting on The Job 10 Years or More Means You Have a 94% Chance of Developing a Tumor
According to The Telegraph, a new research study from the University of Western Australia states a team of researchers found that if you work 10 years or more in a sedentary job you have a 94% chance of developing a tumor, and a 44% chance of developing rectum cancer.
In simpler terms, if you're sitting on your ass all day in a cubicle or desk - you don't have much longer to live. And it doesn't matter if you exercise or workout when you get out of work or on weekends, you are developing a tumor whether you like it or not!
‘Even a high level of vigorous recreational physical activity did not modify the effect of sedentary work.’ And they warned: ‘The findings have occupational health implications, given that advances in technology have led to increasing amounts of sedentary behaviour at work.’
And in other developing news.... sitting down for lengthy periods of time also increases blood sugar levels - so you're going to develop diabetes which will also lead to colon cancer!
Boy, am I screwed!
