Get up and walk around
According to medical experts, sedentary people are more likely to develop certain heart diseases than active individuals. If your job involves staying at the office all day, you should try to take some breaks or exercise for at least thirty minutes every day, because otherwise, your health will be adversely affected in the long run.Â
“One of the biggest mistakes people can make when it comes to heart health is that they ignore their hearts. Everyone is so busy that they sit at their desks all day and work. They have to remember to get up and walk around. Bad habits such as smoking and sitting too often can increase your risk for heart attack,” explained Dr. Nieca Goldberg, MD, and Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Medicine at NYU.
“People don’t believe that a moderately-paced walk for 30 minutes per day can lower your risk for heart disease, [but it can]. Instead, they think you have to do more intense exercise,” Goldberg added.
