A senior neurologist at Apollo Hospitals, Dr. Sudhir Kumar, has highlighted the serious health risks of prolonged sitting, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and premature death. He recommends a simple routine for office workers: standing up and moving for two to five minutes every 20 to 30 minutes. Consistently incorporating these short breaks throughout the workday can improve circulation, regulate metabolism, lower cardiovascular risks, and promote overall well-being.
