Physical inactivity is a serious problem in modern society.

It turned out that even physical activity is not always able to completely eliminate its consequences.

Ufa doctors from City Hospital No. 5 told the publication UfaTime.ru that there is a threshold for sitting in one place, which is a serious danger to the body.

In particular, we are talking about 10-11 hours that a person can spend at a desk. For example, such an irregular working day can be for freelancers, remote workers and all those who work from home.

Such a long period of time spent in a sitting position often cannot be compensated for even by playing sports.

Those who sit at a desk for too long may develop cardiovascular diseases, which are often the cause of premature death.

This is why doctors have recommended reducing the amount of time spent sitting to minimize health risks.
