　　When it comes to health, it seems that sitting too much may be as bad for you as smoking. A study suggests that you should get an hour of exercise every day.

　　Researchers say the exercise can help office workers reduce the risk of an early death. Many office workers spend much time seated. A lack of physical activity is linked to some 5.3 million deaths worldwide each years.

　　Ekelund says, “For many people there is no way to escape sitting for a long time. But we pay attention to the importance of getting exercise.” Ekelund suggests going for a run in the morning, riding a bicycle to work, or taking a walk in the middle of the work day. But if this is not possible, he suggests doing at least some exercise each day to reduce the risk of disease and an early death.

　　For the study, researchers looked at 13 earlier studies on effect of inactivity. People were grouped according to the amount of activity they reported-from less than 5 minutes a day to up to 75 minutes a day.

　　The study found that those who sat for eight hours a day but got the suggested amount of exercise reduced their chances of dying at an early age. These people did better than those who sat less but were not active.

　　Ekelund says, “There has been a lot of concern about the health risks.” He adds, “It is possible to reduce these risks if we are active enough, even without taking up sports or going to the gym.”
