Fidgeting may be the remedy for those that sit all day. Sitting all day has been proven to have many adverse health effects, but recent research has shown that people who fidget may be able to counteract some of the negative effects of sitting. “The new study, published Wednesday in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that women who sat for long periods of time have a lower mortality rate if they considered themselves moderately to very fidgety, compared to women who said they only fidgeted occasionally. Women who sat for long periods of time without fidgeting had an increased risk of death that wasn’t seen among other groups. Perhaps most surprisingly of all, the researchers didn’t find a difference in mortality risk between women who sat more versus those who were more active—as long as the sitters were fidgety.” So fidget away, it could be improving your health.
