Health experts have figured out how much time you should sit each day. Alex Cossio, AP. British experts are recommending office workers stand for at least two hours a day, in a warning against the dangers of sitting.
Today, the average office worker sits for about 10 hours, first all those hours in front of the computer, plowing through e-mails, making calls or writing proposals â and eating lunch. And then all those hours of sitting in front of the TV or surfing the Web at home. Medical researchers have long warned that prolonged sitting is dangerous, associated with a significantly higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and depression, as well as muscle and joint problems.
