Even if you balance out your time in the chair with trips to the gym, <a href="https://www.everydayhealth.com/cancer/1103/too-much-sitting-raises-odds-for-cancer.aspx">research</a> shows that too much sitting can up your risk of breast and colon cancers. <a href="https://www.everydayhealth.com/healthy-living/0816/too-much-tv-may-take-years-off-your-life.aspx">Another recent study</a> found that too much time parked in front of the TV may actually take years off your life.
Luckily, it's easy to counteract the negative effects of sitting by simply moving more. A study published in the February issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that moderate-to-intense physical activity in sedentary children improved the kids' waist circumference, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and more across the board. In adults, research has found that being active can reduce your risk of colon cancer by 35 percent and <a href="https://www.everydayhealth.com/breast-cancer/guide/">breast cancer</a> by 25 percent, and it's never too late to make over your lifestyle.
If you're interested in boosting your health and trimming your waistline - no gym or expensive equipment required - here are eight simple ways to bake more activity into your day. Your health will thank you.
