Sitting is the new smoking.”
It sounds powerful.
But it’s not scientifically accurate.
Smoking introduces toxins and causes direct vascular and cellular damage.
Sitting becomes harmful when it replaces movement.
The real issue is sustained metabolic inactivity.

But sitting + strength training + daily walking? Very different outcome.
The solution isn’t fear. It’s structured movement.
