    Stand Up for Your Life

    I have some bad news. You might want to sit down for it. No wait! I mean, stand. Stand up! I don't want you to die.

    In fact, you have a greater chance of dying if you sit most of the day, according to scientists at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana. They studied the lifestyles of more than 17,000 men and women for 13 years and found that people who sit for most of the day are 54 percent more likely to die of a heart attack. This number includes nonsmokers and people who regularly exercise. 

    Check out the pretty graphic to learn more, but please, read it standing up!
