Episode description
📊 Too much sitting hurts the heart.
🧍♂️ Ajufo et al. (2024) tracked 89,530 people using accelerometers and found that 🪑 >10.6 hours/day of sitting sharply increases the risk of ❤️ heart failure, 💔 heart attacks, 💓 AFib, and ⚰️ cardiovascular death.
🏃 Even active people aren’t fully protected.
🔁 Replacing just 30 minutes of sitting with movement—🕺 light or 🏋️♂️ vigorous—reduces risk.
🧠 The takeaway? Sit less, move more, live longer.
