If you’re spending your day hopping from a car seat into an office chair and then onto the couch, your sedentary lifestyle could be killing you! Find out why and what you can do about it.

Have you ever thought about how much time you spend sitting? Most of us sit on the way to work, whether a commuter or passenger, and if you have an office job you’re bound to be seated for most of the day. The journey home is yet again, a seated one. And after a long day, many people enjoy kicking back to enjoy their favourite TV shows.

According to research this sedentary lifestyle could be slowly killing us! Studies have found that people who sit and watch TV for three hours or more a day are 64% more likely to die from heart disease. Studies have linked obesity and sitting finding that obese people sit an extra two and half hours per day than those who maintain a healthy body weight.

The good news is that we have the power to improve our lifestyles. Start by interrupting your sitting time with these three tips…

Stand-up when talking on the phone at work and at home
Get out the office for a short walk luring lunch
Follow WORKOUT WEDNESDAY on our Facebook page for weekly workout inspiration
Go for a 30 minute walk or jog instead of turning on the television after work

And if you still think you can sit back and relax, read through this shocking infographic which collates numerous studies about the negative health impacts of a sedentary lifestyle…

I have not come across service like this in a long time and it actually gives me goosies to think that companies still have staff like this working for them.

I find it an absolute pleasure phoning your client services for assistance!

Good day to whom it may concern, I hereby wish to comment on the great and friendly services received from your employees earlier this morning.I am a new client of Essential Med and made a call to your offices earlier this morning as there was something I wasn’t sure off. The lady who I spoke to was extremely helpful and her kindness was also well appreciated. As a new customer I thank you for accepting myself and my family to your health insurance and also for the generous service. Like you said – “looking forward to a long and healthy relationship” Kindest regards.
