In 1918, this “[miracle medicine]( was in every household in America. Valuable enough to get caught in the crossfire during both World Wars… [1918]( And powerful enough to be studied by the founding members of a massive Big Pharma dynasty… There was nothing else like it on Earth. In fact, [this miracle medicine]( was on track to become a game-changer for fighting the cancer epidemic. But then it just…disappeared. To this day, it’s not being taught in medical schools—or prescribed in major U.S. cancer centers. But the results of lab studies are impressive. Big Pharma knows more about this than they’re letting on…and [these newly discovered documents]( prove it... Everything you need to know is [right here](.

His research showed it leads to obesity, heart disease, and other serious conditions. Dr. Levine said, “Sitting is more dangerous than smoking and kills more people than HIV. The chair is out to kill us.” So if sitting is so bad, standing must be better, right? That was the theory that led thousands of office workers to buy standing desks. Dr. Levine himself invented and sold a “treadmill desk” that allowed workers to stroll while they worked. But when studies tested standing desks in real-life settings to see if they improved health and work productivity, the results were surprising. Is Your Chair Out to Kill You? Researchers at Curtin University in Australia took a close look at people as they used standings desks. They checked for changes in cognitive function. And they measured subjects’ muscle fatigue, movement, lower limb swelling, and mental state. They found that as the day went on, subjects were less comfortable standing. And their reaction times slowed. Researchers concluded that standing desks cause “discomfort and deteriorating mental reactiveness.” The results were published in the journal Ergonomics. --------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Content You will never buy a “superfood” again Kale…almonds…chia seeds?

The study adds to more comprehensive research published earlier in the American Journal of Epidemiology. It tracked more than 7,000 office workers in Ontario, Canada, over 12 years. It found that people who often stood at work were almost twice as likely to develop heart disease. Researcher Peter Smith was a co-author of the study. He said that workers who stand a lot are as likely to have heart disease as those who smoke. Why? “There are a couple different mechanisms by which prolonged standing can increase your risk of heart disease,” Smith said. “One of them is by blood pooling in your legs. And the other is by increased venous pressure in your body by trying to pump that blood back up to your heart. That increases oxidative stress.” Professor Alan Taylor is a physiotherapy expert at Nottingham University. He says the standing desk craze is due more to marketing than to science. “It has been driven more by commercial reasons than scientific evidence,” he said. “But the evidence is catching up, and it’s showing there are some drawbacks.” So what’s an office worker to do? Professor Taylor says the answer is simple. You need to move. Neither sitting nor standing all day is healthy. Even if you exercise before or after work, you still need to find ways to move during the day. 7 Ways to Stay Active at Work - Take a short stroll every hour…even if it’s just to the bathroom or the water cooler. You can set an alarm reminding you to get up. - Move your printer. Move it across the room. This forces you to get up whenever you print. - Walk while you talk. Make it a habit to pace when you take phone calls. - Do walking meetings. Ask if this is something your company would be willing to implement. - Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. If you’re wearing towering heels or a stiff suit, you won’t want to move. Even if your office requires formal dress, you can choose a chunkier heel or find a suit made from flexible fabric. - Take the stairs. Avoid elevators. - Track your steps. Use a Fitbit or a cellphone app like Google Fit or Runkeeper. Find out how many steps you do in a normal day and set a goal to improve. - Walk instead of emailing. Yes, you can talk to your colleagues. Walk to their desk and speak face to face, like people did in the old days. One more thing... Don’t eat at your desk. Use your lunch as an opportunity for movement. Editor’s Note: Discover the leading cause of death your doctor won’t tell you about. It ranks behind only heart disease and cancer as a major killer.
