New UK research reveals that each additional hour of prolonged sitting or resting increases cancer risk by 9 per cent. The study emphasises the importance of breaking up sedentary time throughout the day rather than just measuring total inactive hours. Replacing one hour of sitting with light physical activity can reduce cancer death risk by 12 per cent.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
