Get up from the chair now because your life may be in danger. If you want to be healthy and have no long-term health problems, watch how long and in what way you sit on the chair in the office.

Let’s see together what are the risks you expose yourself when you sit too long on the seat.

Besides diabetes, you can gain weight very much, because inactivity will reach the maximum in a few years.
