Time to get out of the chair...

Health Tip: A recent study showed that getting up and stretching  your legs periodically throughout the day will help reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes

More and more studies are verifying that  in order to protect our health we must get up and walk around as much as possible. A recent study by Dr. Levine from the Mayo clinic found that if we get up every few hours and stretch, we are keeping our blood sugar down. This helps prevent heart disease and diabetes.

So, the trick is every little bit you do counts to protect your health. Its not just the 20-30 mins of aerobic activity that protect your heart health. Everything you can do to stay active throughout the days can have big health payoffs .
