🪑 Long sitting isn’t harmless!
Doctors say getting up from your chair frequently is more important than you might think. Prolonged sitting affects your joints, circulation, posture and long-term health — even if you exercise later! 
🔄 How often should you move?
✔️ Stand, walk or stretch every ~30 minutes
✔️ That’s about 8–10 movement breaks in a typical workday ✔️ 
Even short walks or simple stretches count! 
💡 Why it helps
✨ Boosts blood flow & circulation
✨ Reduces stiffness & back/knee discomfort
✨ Helps keep blood sugar in check
✨ Improves posture & joint health
✨ Keeps muscles strong, especially as we age! 
🔔 Pro tip:
Set a timer or app reminder to stand every 30 mins — little habits = big benefits! 🙌
Long hours of sitting may be silently affecting your health more than you realise, but small daily habits could make a big difference.
