The sedentary body: what sitting all day is actually doing to your health

from The Wellness Rhythm Show

Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park dig into the independent health risks of prolonged sitting—separate from lack of exercise—and unpack what actually happens inside your body during hours of stillness, from metabolic slowdown to mood changes. They break down the research showing that brief movement breaks every thirty minutes matter more than one long workout, and share practical, unsexy interventions that don't require equipment or a complete lifestyle overhaul. You'll walk away understanding why the pattern of movement interruption is what counts, and how to build it into a realistic day.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show:  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow  📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com  Powered by VoxCrea.AI
