“IS SITTING THE NEW SMOKING?”
From the driver’s seat to the office or school chair and then the couch at home, American’s are sitting an average of 9.3 hours a day, more than we spend sleeping.
Doctors and scientists are calling “sitting” the “new smoking” due to the multiple health risks associated with both. A deeper look into this issue can reveal a different view and will help us understand the “why” behind the “new” risk factor, something conventional medicine has no interest in, because the “WHY” is not profitable.
Treating symptoms (the “what”) IS extremely lucrative. Just look at the high costs associated with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and other drugs. Yet none of these approaches will ever get to the root cause as to why someone got cancer or any other disease in the first place!
There was a case study done on Cancer and Sitting:
Cancer Study:
In a 24 year Cancer Prevention Study II (CPS II), the researchers compared (among other factors) the hours participants reported sitting during their free time to their risk of developing cancer.
What the Studies Show:
T
he American Cancer Society’s CPS II study looked at 69,260 men and 77,462 women. They found that the women who spent six or more hours sitting during their free time, had a 10% greater risk of developing cancer. The three cancers most observed were: multiple myeloma, ovarian cancer, and invasive breast cer.
According to the data gathered from the study:
“In women, sitting 6 hours or more a day during free time was linked to a 65% greater risk for multiple myeloma, a 43% greater risk for ovarian cancer, a 10% greater risk for invasive breast cancer, and a 10% greater risk for any cancer at all, compared with women who sat less than 3 hours a day during free time.”
A 2015 study published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine performed a review and meta-analysis of 47 research studies and articles titled Sedentary Time and Its Association With Risk for Disease Incidence, Mortality, and Hospitalization in Adults. The study’s conclusion concurred with the CPS II findings stating that “Prolonged sedentary time was independently associated with deleterious health outcomes regardless of physical activity.”
The findings echoed those of the 2014 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute titled Television Viewing and Time Spent Sedentary in Relation to Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis. This study also gathered previous data from over from 43 observational studies including a total of 68,936 cancer cases. The study found that sedentary time is associated with increased risk of colon, endometrial, and lung cancers.
What does the Data on Inactivity Doesn’t Show:
The data seems to be clear no matter what angle you look at it. Sitting does not prevent cancer, it most likely increases your chances of getting it. However, there are many important factors that all these studies have left out.
M
ost people living in the modern world are exposed to electromagnetic radiation(EMF) to some degree. If a sedentary individual has their body in close proximity to a computer, tablet, cell phone, or television there will likely be an increased cancer risk.
Many of the studies referenced in this article have collected data spanning over two decades. During that time, there has been an increase in the toxicity of our environment, personal care products, food supply, cancer-causing pollutants such as glyphosate, GMO foods, heavy metals, radiation, and other chemicals now prevalent that need to be avoided.
“YOUR LYMPHATIC SYSTEM IS A KEY COMPONENT OF YOUR INMUNE SYSTEM AND DEPENDS ON MOVEMENT AND DEEP BREATHING TO KEEP IT MOVING
Could This Be the Real Reason Why Sitting is So Bad for You?:
A probable link between a sedentary lifestyle and an increased cancer risk is the lack of movement of the lymphatic system, which acts as a filtration system and is a key part of your immune system. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system has no pump of its own to circulate lymphatic fluid. Movement and contraction of the muscles is the engine that moves lymph fluid. This is why it is so important to be physically active and begin daily habits of activity.
Sedentary lifestyle is contrary to our biological needs and destructive to our overall well-being. The human body is biologically designed to move. Movements stimulates the bones, muscles and all 12 of our body systems: digestive, reproductive, cardiovascular, etc.
Detox Strategies to improve Lymphatic System Function:
- Good Posture
- Stretching Regularly
- Deep Breathing Exercises
- Variety of movements
In Pain Free at Sea we use a variety of movements that realign your spine and joints improving your posture. We use active and passive stretching and strengthening movements in different positions (standing, sitting, kneeling, hands and knees, lying supine and prone) and we pay strict attention to your posture and breathing.
We want to restore and maintain your rate of motion, offer you a way to overcome your physical limitations.
