Researchers from the American Cancer Society discovered that women who sat more than 6 hours a day were at a 37% increased risk of early death, compared to women who sat for less than 3 hours. Men had a 17% increased risk (even among those who exercised) while another study done in 2012 found that if the average American reduced their sitting time to 3 hours per day, life expectancy would climb by 2 years.
