As I may have mentioned once or several hundred times, I will be retiring in a few weeks and it appears that I'm retiring just in time. I heard an interesting health report on the news this evening. It appears that too much sitting is bad for your health. Sitting for four hours at a stretch can increase your chance of becoming diabetic by 90%. That was one of several interesting statistics. Obviously all the sitting I do at work in front of my computer and during meetings is a hazard to my health.
I'm sure I'll be on my feet more when I'm at home but I would like to see a companion study on the effects of lying down (as in sprawled on the couch with a good book, which is definitely on my retirement radar).
