Being sedentary increases the risk of death! According to a study, if you do one movement at the same time while sitting for a long time, it only takes 3 minutes to help blood circulation and reduce the mortality rate by 37%, which is better than walking for 20 minutes. Some physical therapists said that this action can repeatedly move the calf muscles, help promote blood circulation, and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
Sitting for a long time is fatal 1 action reduces the risk of death by 37%
The University of London and the University of Leeds jointly conducted a study on the harmful effects of sedentary sitting on the human body. The researchers invited 12,000 women between the ages of 37 and 78 to conduct a survey, and collected their daily sitting time and diet for 12 years and lifestyle data.
It was found that people who sat for more than 7 hours a day had a 30% higher risk of death. However, the researchers also found that those who sat for less than 5 hours a day and also had a habit of squatting had a 37% lower risk of death than the former, reflecting that squatting can reduce mortality.

Walking for 3 minutes is better than walking for 20 minutes to promote blood circulation
In addition, a study by Chukyo University in Japan pointed out that standing on the feet continuously for 3 minutes can increase the temperature of the calf by 1 degree and help blood circulation. The effect is equivalent to walking for 20 minutes.
Physiotherapist Sun Guts also published an article to explain this. He said that the ankle will repeatedly raise the toes of the ankle, causing the calf muscles to contract repeatedly. Just like walking, the ankle needs to be lifted to promote blood circulation. He also pointed out that squatting can also relieve hip pain and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
