The negative physical impact of sitting is very well established.

There is increasing evidence that sitting for prolonged periods can have a negative impact on your mood and mental health. Your brain depends on good blood and oxygen supply, and optimal glucose metabolism in order to function at an optimal level. Prolonged sitting hinders all these.

Intermittent Movement is the answer. Try not to sit continuously longer than 30 minutes. It is easy to accomplish when you plan for it. Stand up, do some squats, side lunges, walk up and down the stairs, convert to a standing desk.
