A huge number of people in different countries of the world, including Russia, sit all day on chairs and chairs in front of computers in their offices and do specific work.. Some time ago, scientists said that sedentary work and generally sedentary lifestyles for human health are dangerous just as.

In other words, those people who have been sitting at work and at home for a long time are just as equally threatened by tumor diseases, disorders of the cardiovascular system, respiratory and brain diseases.. Naturally, these findings greatly frightened a huge army of office workers who have no alternative to their long sitting.. But fortunately, it turned out that scientists got a little excited.

New research has shown that inhalation of tobacco smoke increases the risk of premature death for any reason by approximately 180%.. If a person just sits on a chair for most of the day, then this increases the risk of premature death by 20%, maximum. In other words, a sedentary lifestyle is not as dangerous as smoking cigarettes.. At the same time, the researchers proved that even “light” smokers, who consume no more than a few cigarettes a day, are still at risk, as are those who become victims of passive smoking. In general, smokers are more than twice as likely to die from cancer and cardiovascular diseases.. However, their risk of dying from lung tumors, compared with non-smokers, is higher by 1000%.

Researchers at the University of South Australia urge not to compare sitting work with smoking - these are completely different factors, and they provoke different health risks.. Naturally, smokers face far more health problems than those who just sit on the stool most of the day.. But there is no doubt that if office workers are also smokers, then in their case the danger of premature death will increase many times.
