\nIt\u2019s well known that sitting has been associated with obesity, diabetes and even anxiety, but the simple act of sitting can have adverse effects on the liver, too.<\/p>\n
Sitting and being sedentary were both associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, according to My new research.<\/p>\n
The study published found that people who sat for 10 or more hours per day increased their risk for the disease by nine percent.<\/p>\n
Getting active seemed to do the opposite: People who were physically active walking at least 10,000 steps a day, for example were 20 percent less likely to develop liver disease compared to those who scarcely exercised.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur body is designed to move, and it is not surprising that sedentary behavior, characterized by low muscle activity, has a direct impact on physiology,\u201d<\/p>\n
