No sitting down on the job!
- 29 July 2010 21:4362989According to a recent study spending too much time sitting down can shorten your lifespan. American researchers spent 14 years studying 120,000 men and women and found that the more time they spent sitting, the greater their risk of dying prematurely. They discovered that women who spend six or more hours sitting per day had a 37 percent chance of dying, as compared to women who spent less than three hours a day in a chair. It was 17 percent higher for men.
I wonder how many hours over the 14 years the researchers spent sitting collating this?

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Although after more years than I care to remember with the Civil Service I guess it's too little too late! - 29 July 2010 23:0663021So, there is a good argument for reintroducing the kitchen sink chain to keep women standing and therefore healthier?

- 30 July 2010 08:2363064Sid! Slapped legs..................
- 30 July 2010 08:2663065Yes lots of ironing cleaning and scrubbing are also very good for wimmin as it stimulates the inner self, burns calories, and gives masses of satisfaction!!
Dr Klaus Swinleybotm of Vienna has found in a recent study that the wearing of very high hells is also very good for women generally, trying to tother at a great height helps with balance and posture, and as an aside he noted that they get taken out more.

Roger - 31 July 2010 12:5663249Hmm, now there's an image. Bern arrayed sexily on the kitchen table, in her best basque and covered in baklava. What feast that would be!
